Daisy Dash - Madison-Ridgeland Academy

Race Overview

Madison-Ridgeland Academy is excited to once again host the Daisy Dash, sponsored by Exell, as part of the 31st annual Gardens of Madison County fundraiser. Now in its second year, this fun-filled event will take place on Monday, April 27th, bringing together students, families, faculty, and alumni for a vibrant evening on MRA’s beautiful campus.

At the heart of the Daisy Dash is a Color Run, open to all members of the MRA community, with a special focus on students from PK3 through 12th grade. Participants can expect a lively, high-energy course around the MRA campus where bursts of color add to the fun. Faculty, staff, and current MRA families are encouraged to join in running or volunteering.
