The Denham Springs High School Cross Country team is hosting the fifth-annual Dog Days of Summer 5k and 1-mile run on Saturday, August 2, 2025. The race will go along historic River Road in Denham Springs and offers runners a beautiful course with lots of shade. We hope to provide a worthwhile run for everyone. All proceeds beyond the administrative costs of the event will be donated to the Denham Springs High School Cross Country and Track and Field programs. The race will be officially timed and managed by Threshold Timing. All participants that REGISTER BY Friday, July 20th will receive a t-shirt. All 5k finishers and all 1-mile finishers 14 and under will receive a custom medal. T-shirts will be available for those who register after Friday, July 20, while supplies last. There are a maximum of 275 spots available for the races.
