Dash for The Dome
The Annual Dash for The Dome is held in February to Benefit The Botanical Gardens.
The Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens will hold their 5th Annual Dash for The Dome - 5K Race and Walk... stay tuned for #6 in 2011. The sanctioned and certified course invites runners and walkers of all ages to support Buffalo's beautiful Botanical Gardens.
The race course will be held within South Park, which is home to The Botanical Gardens. The road around the park is approximately 1.5 miles, thus the course will be a tad over two circumnavigations of the park and the walk will be one loop around. Runners and walkers will enjoy a unique post-race party inside the 72 degree Gardens. Outside it is February and inside it is a tropical paradise. The party will include wonderful refreshments and an award ceremony to congratulate the winners.
Awards will be given to the first, second and third place winners in each age division, first place overall Male and Female and first place Masters Male and Female (40), first place walker and youngest participant. Age groups are as follows: 13 and under, 14-18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-45, 46-49, 50-54, 55-60, 61-64, 65-69 & 70 and over.
