ASH Dash 5K Bunny Run 2025

Saturday, April 19, 2025, 8am at Austin State Hospital Campus

4110 Guadalupe., Austin, TX

The ASH Dash 5K Bunny Run, the Friends of ASH's signature event to raise awareness and support for patient projects, is back! Over the past 17 years, the ASH Dash has welcomed thousands of runners, walkers, and volunteers the Saturday before Easter to support many services and programs not funded through the State of Texas. 

Follow the Easter Bunny as you run, race, or walk for mental health on a course that winds through the hospital's tree-shaded grounds in historic Hyde Park and stay for an Easter egg hunt for all participants following the race. This is a family friendly race including our beloved four- legged family members. Please consider supporting us by becoming a registered participant or a sponsor.
