ASH Dash 5K

Sign up here for the ASH Dash 5K Bunny Run

 Join us on Saturday, April 3, 2010 for a Family Fun Event!  

Easter egg hunt following the race for all participants!

The 6th annual ASH Dash 5K Bunny Run is a fun, easy way to help adults and children being treated at Austin State Hospital. Organized by the Austin State Hospital Volunteer Services Council (ASH VSC), the ASH Dash is a chip-timed run on a flat, fast, double-looped USATF-certified course that winds through the hospital’s beautiful, tree-shaded grounds.

The course will start in front of the original hospital, which was established in 1857 as the “Texas State Lunatic Asylum.” The run/walk is one or two loops on a flat course lines with trees and rose bushes. Participants are encouraged to tour the first floor of this historic structure, which is still in use today.

State monies do not cover all the needs of ASH patients. Funds raised during this event will be used to provide programs and services to over 4,000 Central Texas adults, adolescents, and children hospitalized for treatment of mental illness.
