Drumstick Dash Night at Victory Field
Early Fall 2025
September 21, 2024
Show off your fitness in this team competition to raise money for local people who are hurting and experiencing homelessness. First, teams of 10 people (5 men and 5 women) raise funds for Wheeler Mission, then they compete against other gyms in a one-day crossfit-style competition at Park Tudor School. It really is a win-win event for the whole community!
We had a blast on Thanksgiving morning at the 2024 Drumstick Dash!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who laced up their shoes for the Drumstick Dash. Whether you ran, jogged, or walked, every step contributed to a great cause.
