The DIRWIN Dash, A Bearded Bash Race Description

The DIRWIN DASH

"A Bearded Bash" 5K Run/Walk is in honor of beloved Heritage Christian Schools Guidance Counselor and friend, Dave Irwin. Mr. Irwin's absence is felt daily in our hallways and classrooms, on the cross country course, at sporting events and most of all in our hearts. Students and faculty feel his absence keenly because Mr. Irwin was the one who filled the gap in the lives of countless students...loving them, providing counsel, offering hope, meeting needs, being a friend, spreading laughter and always pointing them to Jesus. Cross country was a sport he loved. We hold this race in his honor and rememberance. The funds raised through this event will be used to support the students of Heritage Christian School, where Mr. Irwin so selflessly served. 

~~Psalm 119:32 “I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.”~~

Those who do not wear them, or wear them improperly will be disqualified and asked to leave the course as we will not know if you are included in the race (this is for insurance purposes). Pull tabs will not be utilized to limit person-to-person contact. See the image below for proper wearing.  Tie one on the left shoe, and one on the right. No tags, no time. Race bibs must be worn and visible at all times. Wear bibs front facing.

5Kevents Race Results

You can view results LIVE at www.5Kevents.org and click on the race results tab. Remember this is a chip start, so a person's finishing order via Horn Start will not be the same as Chip Start. The race clock will represent the official Race start time but not your actual finish time. If your final time, gender, bib#, or other data is incorrect on the final results, please notify the race director using our online correction formPLEASE, Do not interrupt the timing crew during the event

You may submit corrections at: https://5kevents.org/result_correction.html. While results will be immediately posted online at www.5Kevents.org, results will not be official for 48 Hours. This will allow us to make corrections.  

-TRAINING-

 Zero to 5K 

New to running? DOWNLOAD our ZERO to 5K program - Many newcomers to running become discouraged by the difficulty associated with the activity because they start too fast and push too hard. Their bodies rebel and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to run in the first place. The Zero to 5K program has been specifically designed to instill a love of running and ends with participating in your first timed 5K. 

We’re here to help you achieve your goal(s), be it your first 5K, improving your run, or simply offering a resource where you can run with a group that is designed to help each other stay motivated. You should ease into your 5K training plan gradually. In fact, the program we provide is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The idea is to transform you from a non-runner, getting you to begin running a 5K ( or 3.1 miles) on a regular basis in just 4 weeks.  

It’s easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program but hold yourself back. Don’t try to do more, even if you feel you can. If, on the other hand, you find the program too strenuous, just stretch it out. Don’t feel pressured to continue faster than you’re able. Repeat weeks if needed and move ahead only when you feel you’re ready.
