About the Event

The Ditto Dash is a one-of-a-kind race experience that combines two of North Alabama's greatest outdoor assets: the Tennessee River and the region's growing trail network.

Participants will paddle approximately five miles around beautiful Hobbs Island before completing a 5K run through Ditto Landing along the Tennessee River Greenway. Competitors may participate individually or as a two-person relay team, making the event accessible to paddlers, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts of all experience levels. For full event details, view the Event Details page.

More than a race, the Ditto Dash celebrates the connections between waterways, trails, and communities that make the Tennessee Valley a premier outdoor recreation destination.

Proceeds from the event support the missions of Tennessee RiverLine, Singing River Trail, and Ditto Landing.

Whether you're competing solo, teaming up with a partner, or simply looking for an unforgettable day on the water and trail, the Ditto Dash offers a memorable adventure and an opportunity to support getting people outside, conservation, and regional connectivity across North Alabama and the Tennessee River Valley.

Early Registration: $25 (June 1 – August 3)
