GFA Dragon Dash

Join us at the Dragon Dash!

A great, scenic & friendly course the whole family can enjoy. Invite your friends and neighbors, and join the GFA community for a 5K run (or walk) on Saturday, April 20.

Our event has partnered with an education-based charity for many years. We will continue this wonderful tradition! ALL donations will go directly to our beneficiary. We appreciate your support and generosity.

Our 5K (3.1mi) course is a gentle loop through the scenic Greens Farms neighborhood in Westport. Much of the second half is on a quiet street overlooking the Long Island Sound. The start and finish is on the GFA campus. Everyone running or walking this distance will be computer-timed and will be eligible for prizes & awards.

We also host a short, free kids’ fun run before the 5K starts.

We encourage all abilities to join us for all events of this great fundraising effort!

Funds raised will benefit Horizons GFA and Komera.
