About this race
West Davidson High School's Athletic Department is proud to host its inaugural Dragon Dash 5K and Little Lizard 1K, a community event dedicated to supporting the growth and success of our student-athletes. Proceeds from the race will help provide essential resources, equipment, facility improvements, and opportunities that directly benefit our athletic programs.

Together, we can ensure that West Davidson athletes have the tools and support they need to compete, grow, and succeed both on and off the field.
5K Course Overview:
This course covers 3.1 miles and is relatively flat. It is a two-loop course that starts and ends on the track, but the route also features a wooded trail, grassy areas, crushed gravel, and paved surfaces. As such, this course is not suitable for strollers, and for the safety of all participants and functionality of races, dogs are not welcome during either the 5K or Little Lizard 1K.
