Audience
About 1,000 runners and their families, mostly from Oak Cliff and greater Dallas. Neighbors who shop, eat, and bank close to home.
Increase your exposure in Oak Cliff
The Good Space Dash for the Beads is already one of the largest social gatherings in Oak Cliff, and we keep getting bigger. The 18th annual Dash will once again join forces with the Go Oak Cliff Mardi Gras Parade, with both events held back-to-back. This is a fantastic opportunity to promote your business to literally thousands of Oak Cliff residents.
Our goal is to provide a safe neighborhood event that continues a tradition of community and giving. We would be so grateful to have you become part of our team. Your generosity will continue to help thousands of youth in the North Oak Cliff area.
