Upside Downs invites community members to come out for the third annual 3.21 Down Syndrome Dash! Put on your best crazy socks and come out to the Bayou Country Children’s Museum for a fun day in support of Upside Downs.
The day will begin with a 5k run immediately followed by a little extra .11 mile fun dash– the 3.21 miles represent that individuals with Down syndrome have 3 copies of the 21st chromosome. The Bucktown All-Stars will be hitting the Lorio Foundation stage at 11:30am followed by Nonc Nu & Da Wild Matous. Grab your lawn chairs and head on over to the Bayou Country Children’s Museum tomorrow. We’re having a big community party and celebrating our friends who rock an extra chromosome.
Check in will begin at 8:00 a.m, with the 5k race beginning at 9:00 a.m. This race is for everyone– whether you’re an avid 5k runner, trying to hit your PR before your next big marathon, or sticking to your resolution to stay fit, or you just want to grab a friend and enjoy a weekend run.
