REGISTER HERE: Purple Dash for St. Jude Kids 5K Virtual Run/Walk

Or scan the code on the graphic below.

This is a virtual 5K, which means there is no excuse and no bad weather. Treadmill at 5 a.m., neighborhood loop after dinner, a walk with the dog and the kids — it all counts. Every mile and every dollar goes to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.

New this year: children’s t-shirts are only $10 each, & they can be added to your registration!

Since 2020, the Purple Dash has raised more than $210,000 for St. Jude.

2025 raised the bar. Your mission is to clear it.

The Purple Dash family has proven what we can do when we run together and give together.

Let’s make this one the biggest yet.

Last year, sponsor logos and links on our race page generated more than 27,000 views. That exposure reaches employees across the AirT family of companies as well as sponsors, participants, and their families worldwide — alongside a cause they already care about. This year we are expanding our purple dash community with more social media & a dedicated page on MAC’s website.

💰 Donations: 50% of the way to our $60,000 goal for St. Jude kids

Every registration and every dollar brings us closer to mission complete — and closer to giving kids like Luis the chance to keep chasing their own missions: baseball games, golf swings, driver’s licenses, and everyday life.
