Dash for the Beads is an annual 5k and 1 mile fun run that coincides with Mardi Gras so come out and Laissez les bons temps rouler! – Let the good times roll!

Become a Friend of the Dash
Dash for the Beads is one of the largest Oak Cliff community events whose sole focus is to help children. Since the event began in 2010, we have awarded over $450,000 in grant money for local area schools and non-profits to promote physical fitness, healthy eating and arts programming.
Friends of the Dash is our sustaining program that accepts year-round donations and demonstrates your ongoing commitment for the charitable programs supported by Dash for the Beads. Your $250 commitment will be put to use in any number of ways to help Oak Cliff children exercise, eat better and spur their imagination through innovative arts programs.
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Join an event that has become a neighborhood tradition that benefits neighborhood schools.
