Join Us for the 9th Annual Diaper Dash!
Lace up your shoes and make a difference for moms and babies in Northeast Indiana. The Diaper Dash is a fun, untimed run or walk that raises awareness and critical funds to reduce infant and maternal mortality in our community.
Whether you're dashing with a team or going solo, walking, running, or strolling—there’s a place for everyone. The event kicks off at the Parkview Family YMCA pavilion and follows the scenic Pufferbelly Trail. Participants can choose between the full 5K route or a shorter option for a more leisurely pace.
Your support helps provide essential programs, education, and resources that empower families to thrive. Come out, move for a mission, and help us create healthier futures—one step at a time.
