DDS Miles for Smiles 5K takes place on August 29, 2026, in Boone, North Carolina. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile run rather than a 5K distance. The race starts at 10:00 AM from 607 Deerfield Road. Entry costs $25.00. This shorter distance makes it accessible for runners seeking a low-key summer race in the North Carolina mountains. If you're traveling to the Boone area for racing or training, the early morning start time allows plenty of time for post-race activities or further exploration of the region.

From the Race Organizer
CHECK IN STARTS AT 9:00 AM DAY OF RACE This event aims to promote community health and wellness while raising awareness about the importance of oral health. We are proud to be partnering with High Country Community Health to increase awareness of oral cancer and its impact on our community. As part of this initiative, we are planning to provide oral cancer screenings during the event, helping to educate participants about early detection and prevention. Proceeds from the 5K will help fund the pre-dental club at App State’s outreach efforts, including travel to free healthcare clinics such as RAM (Remote Area Medical) and MOM (Mission of Mercy) clinics. These clinics provide essential dental and health services to underserved populations and are often located several hours away, making travel funding essential for student volunteers. Race Fee includes t-shirt and bib while supplies last! Please note this race will not be timed professionally, but it will be timed by volunteers!
