I love the Dogfish Dash and have returned to this race every year since 2012. The race used to be a 5K and 10K, and the past two years, it has been an 8K. Participants get a shirt, along with a bag, a stainless steel pint glass and three beers.

There did used to be some additional food options, but I still really enjoy attending this race with my boyfriend each year. If the Fifer's food truck is there again when you do this race, make sure to buy some apple cider doughnuts - they are delicious!

The course is mostly flat, with a few hills, and there were enough water stops. There was an issue with registration this year, but it was very quickly resolved. If you want to get into this race, you have to be online right when it opens — this race sells out very quickly!

Also: The map shows that this race is in Lewes, but it is actually in Milton, Delaware, starting and ending at Dogfish Head Craft Brewery.
