Dayton Dragons News Release


Dayton, Ohio - Registration opens Monday, March 3, for the 15th annual Dragons 5K presented by Orthopedic Associates. The event is Saturday, July 12, 2025 starting at 8 a.m. at Day Air Ballpark with options to participate in-person or virtually. The event began in 2011 and has become a local tradition as one of the Miami Valley's largest races with over 2,000 runners and walkers participating annually.

In 2025, the Dragons 5K is offering an "Early Bird" price of only $25 dollars until April 13. Registration will be $20 for ages 17 and under.

The Dragons 5K will continue offering a virtual option for those who prefer that method for 2025. Participants who sign up for the virtual option can complete the race on their own time then input their time online by July 31. Virtual participants can also pick up their items from the Box Office at Day Air Ballpark starting the week after the race, or if they prefer, they can have these items shipped for an additional charge of $10.

All race participants (including virtual) will receive a swag bag that includes a Dragons 5K T-shirt, Dragons 5K finisher's medal, Dragons hat, and four (4) lawn tickets to a future Dragons game. Along with the best price for the race, if participants sign up for the race by April 13, they will also receive two (2) bonus stadium seats for a game early this season. Fans should sign up to participate at www.daytondragons.com/dragons5ksignup.

The Dragons 5K encourages participants of all levels. Walkers are welcome and baby strollers are permitted. However, dogs are not allowed to participate with their owners during the race.

Individual awards will be presented to top finishers, and the top runners in each age group will be awarded a Dragons Den e-gift card. Also, top finishing groups will receive great group prizes with the grand prize being a luxury suite at a Dragons game in 2025. The "Race for the Plate" competition continues in its second year, and top finishing groups in the high-school (under 17) category will receive this coveted trophy.

The race will begin at 8:00 a.m. and participants may choose to run or walk the course. The course will move through downtown Dayton and end back at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District.

There will be fruit and water provided for participants after the race. Results will be provided to fans following the completion of the race. The winners of the top overall, individual age group, and group category will receive notification from the Dragons via email by Friday, July 18, 2025.

Bag pickup for those unable to attend the race will continue the week after the race, beginning Monday, July 14, during regular box office hours (9AM - 5PM).
