What Makes the Hippie Dash Special?

The Hippie Dash is more than a run; it's a full-blown 1960s-themed party where running meets fun, and everyone is invited. Imagine racing through beautiful Tampa Bay with the backdrop of the grooviest decade, cheered on by fellow runners dressed as if Woodstock never ended.

Dress Up and Stand Out: The Costume Contests

Why just run when you can run in style? The Hippie Dash isn't just about crossing the finish line; it's about doing it with flair. We're talking about a costume contest that encourages you to dig deep into your (or your parents') closet for those hippie threads.

The Uniqueness of Hippie Dash Medals

At the heart of any race is the sense of accomplishment that comes with crossing the finish line. However, the Hippie Dash elevates this experience through its uniquely designed medals, which are more than just a token of completion; they are a piece of memorabilia that encapsulates the spirit of the event and the era it celebrates.

A nod to the 60’s

From psychedelic patterns and peace signs to vibrant colors and flower motifs, each medal is a mini-masterpiece reflecting the hippie movement's fun, freedom, and flamboyance.

Craftsmanship and Quality

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these medals are crafted with attention to detail and quality, making them a coveted item among participants. Each medal's weight, texture, and finish convey a sense of value and durability, ensuring that they stand the test of time as a keepsake.

Personal Achievement and Collective Memory

Earning a Hippie Dash medal is not just about personal achievement; it's about being part of a collective memory.  This shared experience is encapsulated in the medal, making it a symbol of community as much as it is of individual accomplishment.

A Source of Pride and Conversation

For many participants, the Hippie Dash medal becomes a source of pride and a conversation starter. Displaying the medal in one's home or office is not just a way to remember the day but also to spark interest and dialogue about the event and its underlying causes. It serves as a reminder of the fun had and the impact made, encouraging ongoing engagement with the event and its community.

The Heart of the Race: Chip-Timed Certified Courses

For those with a competitive streak, the Hippie Dash offers the thrill of the race with chip-timed 10k and 5k runs on certified courses. It's a perfect mix of fun and competition, where you can push your limits and then celebrate your achievements with a cold beer in hand.
