On June 3, 2023, DHR is excited to host the second annual Dash n’ Splash Superstar Run in honor of Kayleigh and Sandy Williamson. Kayleigh’s inspiring story is one of courage, determination and commitment. In February 2022, Kayleigh made history when she became the first person with Down syndrome to complete all 26.2 miles of the Austin Marathon. Since 2017, she has completed over 14 half marathons, numerous races at other distances and published a children’s book, “It’s Cool To Be Me.” Currently, Kayleigh is training for the Boston Marathon in 2023. We are honored Kayleigh and her mom Sandy will be joining us for our Dash n’ Splash Superstar Run!
Superstar Run participants will have their choice of two scenic routes: a 1-mile paved loop around the DHR Village, perfect for walkers and casual racers, or a 3-mile loop for racers who are up for a challenge and enjoy the rugged terrain of trail running. Both race routes are guaranteed to take the racers on a memorable adventure around the beautiful DHR property! From wigs and tutus to superhero capes and everything in between, we encourage all participants to “Dress like the star you are!” for this epic fun run!
Immediately after the Superstar Run there will be a free pool party complete with live music, food trucks and so much more! The Dash n’ Splash event will be a fun community event for all ages! All proceeds will support the expansion of DHR’s Ranch Camp Program where every dollar helps to provide a traditional summer camp experience for people with disabilities. Your contribution will increase accessibility to an inclusive, memorable experience for thousands of people with IDD for many years to come.
We look forward to welcoming all of our families and friends to join us for this one-of-a-kind day at the Ranch!
