The fun run is for children in kindergarten to fifth grade and will immediately be followed by a Safety Fair featuring all kinds of fun activities for families. In partnership with the City of Joplin,

The Alliance will be closing Main Street the morning of the 26th for the Downtown Dash from 10th-15th street. Onsite registration for the run will begin at 7:30 a.m. in front of the Gryphon Building.
