This DASH honors those whose DASH has overlapped ours. You and your team can run in honor or memory of a Veteran. You can walk, run, march, skip and you can even spirit run the event. This event is open to all ages and will be held at the beautiful Brevard Veterans Memorial Center on Merritt Island. Service animals are the only pets permitted.
