Daffodil Dash Returns to Cass Park on April 25

Online Registration Open until April 10th for Benefit Walk, Run, Stroll

Registration is open for the fourth annual Daffodil Dash on Saturday, April 25 at Cass Park. Visit raceroster.com/events/2026/113673/daffodil-dash for more details and the online signup page. The Ithaca Garden Club and the Ithaca Children’s Garden invite the community to run, walk, or stroll along the paved course while enjoying 180,000 blooming daffodils they have planted with the proceeds of past events.

This year’s Daffodil Dash will fund daffodils at Stewart Park. Last year’s funds were used to plant 70,000 at the Cayuga Medical Center. Center.

These flowers were purchased with funding from donors and dash participants, and planted with the help of volunteers from the Ithaca Parks Department, the Ithaca Garden Club, and the Ithaca Beautification Brigade, along with Cornell University’s incredible planting equipment.

Kids 12 and under have free registration, and the option to purchase a $5 event t-shirt. Registration for all others is $25, with optional $10 event t-shirts available. There’s a maximum capacity of 500 for participation, which was met quickly in 2025.
