Lonestar Running Company is launching its Summer Dash Series with the second annual Dallas Lemonade Dash on Sunday, June 21, at Bachman Lake Park in Dallas. The family-friendly event features a 5K, 10K, and 1K Family Fun Run and welcomes runners, walkers, beginners and parents with strollers for a morning of philanthropy.

Giving Back, One Mile at a Time: Proceeds from the event benefit three nonprofit organizations making a meaningful difference in their communities: Ainsley’s Angels Southeast Texas, which promotes inclusion in endurance events for individuals with disabilities; The Asher House Animal Sanctuary, dedicated to rescuing and rehoming animals in need; and LifeGift Organ Donation, which supports the gift of life through organ and tissue donation.

“Last year's Lemonade Dash showed us that Dallas participants are looking for summer events that are welcoming and community-focused,” said co-founder Randi Schooley. “The Summer Dash Series brings people together to stay active, make memories and support organizations that are making a real difference in the lives of others.”
