Pirate Dash 5k & 1-Mile Fun Run
About this race
The Fairhope Elementary Schools Pirate Dash 5k & 1-Mile Fun Run is set for February 27, 2027. This beloved Fairhope community event supports all three Fairhope Elementary Schools: Fairhope East Elementary School, Fairhope West Elementary School & J. Larry Newton Elementary School. In it's 12th year, the 5k route takes participants through the Fruit & Nut District of downtown Fairhope and finishes along beautiful Mobile Bay at Knoll Park. The 1-Mile Fun Run is an out and back route along Bayview Ave. We hope you will join us for this year's 12th Annual Pirate Dash and help make a substantial impact on early education in Fairhope.
