New Race Course
The race courses for both the Bud Break 5K and Daffodil Dash have been changed to provide participants with a safer running environment and to include new areas of the Arboretum.
Bud Break 5K will now start and end at the Sensory Garden Parking Lot, running backwards on 3-mile drive. We have added part of the Eastern Drive to the Tashjian Bee and Pollinator Discovery Center in the race. Daffodil Dash will run through the Grace B. Dayton Wildflower Garden next to the Sensory Garden Parking Lot.
Daffodil Dash
The Daffodil Dash is a shortened 1K fun run around the Grace B. Dayton Wildflower Garden for kids ages 5-12. Medals will be awarded to all boys and girls in the Daffodil Dash.
