GiGi’s Playhouse 5K

GiGi’s Playhouse 5K

When you register for the GiGi’s Playhouse 5K, you’re not just signing up to walk or run. Every participant becomes a fundraiser, helping support FREE, life-changing programs at GiGi’s Playhouse Des Moines.

Setting up your personal fundraising page takes just a few minutes, and sharing your story is one of the most meaningful ways to inspire family, friends, and coworkers to support individuals with Down syndrome. Every dollar you raise makes our programs possible.

Can’t make it on race day? You can still make an impact! You don’t have to be at the starting line to support the GiGi’s Playhouse 5K — Dash for Down syndrome. Donate or explore sponsorship opportunities to help fund our free programming. Every gift, big or small, makes a difference.

Together, we’re building a more accepting future for individuals with Down syndrome, locally and nationwide!

Sign up by July 31st to secure your event shirt!

Your Support Changes Lives – Be part of a community that celebrates ability, builds acceptance, and funds FREE life-changing educational and therapeutic programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families in Central Iowa.

Can’t attend? You can still make an impact by donating or becoming a sponsor.

Important Dates

July 31 – Last day for a guaranteed t-shirt with registration.
