MAD Dash 5k

06/23/2026

Every mile made at the MAD Dash 5K is possible because of incredible community partners like our Presenting Sponsor, McDonald’s-Gilley Enterprises.

Their generosity helps us create a meaningful event that celebrates cancer survivors, supports patients and families, and brings our community together for an important cause. We’re proud to have them leading the way and are grateful for their continued commitment to making a difference.

Thank you, McDonald’s-Gilley Enterprises, for going above and beyond and helping make this year’s MAD Dash possible! 💜

The Survivor Celebration is one of the most meaningful traditions of the MAD Dash 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run, and we can’t wait to honor those who have faced cancer with courage and determination.

If you’re a cancer survivor, be sure to register early! The first 250 survivors to sign up will have their race fees generously covered by the Northeast Louisiana Cancer Institute, and will be celebrated with a complimentary breakfast from McDonald’s Gilley Enterprises, special prizes, and our annual Survivor Parade.

This special day is about recognizing every step of your journey and reminding our community that hope is stronger when we come together. We hope you’ll join us and let us celebrate you. 💜

Meet Scotty Robinson. His family faced the unimaginable when his son was diagnosed with leukemia. People see the hospital visits. But they don’t always see the little things behind the scenes.The missed work. The travel. The groceries. The bills that keep coming long after treatment starts. This is why the MAD Dash matters.

The funds raised through the MAD Dash stay in our community through the Louisiana Cancer Foundation .Funds help local families when they need it most.

Join us for the MAD Dash on September 26th in Monroe. Register to run, walk, sponsor, or donate today at maddash5k.com.
