Why Dash & Dine

More than a race.

Dash & Dine LA was created around a simple idea: bring people together through movement, food and community. We want to create events that feel welcoming whether you're chasing a PR, running your first 5K, walking with friends or simply looking for a great reason to spend the morning outside.

The finish line isn't the end of the event. Stick around, grab something to eat, meet people, listen to music and enjoy one of Los Angeles' most iconic outdoor spaces.

Our goal

Build something LA looks forward to.

Our goal is to create the kind of local event you want to come back to — a positive, welcoming morning that gets people moving, supports the community and grows with every race.

The morning

Run → Eat → Hang out.

Simple on purpose. The race is the reason to show up. The experience afterward is the reason to stay.
