The Dash for Doobie has been one of the premier events of the cross country and track season in North Carolina with many athletes posting breakthrough 3200m performances while in peak form from the cross country season.
A major benefit for NCHSAA athletes is the schools that participate in indoor track can use their times to get into the indoor state championships for 2022-23 if they are under the NCHSAA 3200m standard.
As the meet has done since 2019, they will award the Dash for Doobie Scholarship. The meet awards 1 senior boy 3200 participants and 1 senior girl 3200 participants a one-time $500 scholarship. Scholarship applications are due by November 6th.

"Due to the success of Dash for Doobie we are excited to expand the scholarships offered. We are now able to give two scholarships to Reagan HS seniors each year in Nicholas Doub's memory. This wouldn't be possible without the great support we get each year. After Dash for Doobie in 2018, I met with Nick's family. They expressed an interest to give back to the runners that have helped this event become such a success. For the 4th year, we will give out two $500 scholarships (1 senior boy and 1 senior girl) on Nov. 19th to New Balance Dash for Doobie participants. Any senior who is planning to enroll in post-secondary schooling and participates in the Dash for Doobie is eligible. Information and an application can be found on the meet page." - Coach Eric Fritz, Meet Director
The event will be streamed live on MileSplit and we will have photos, archived race videos, and interviews from the event posted at the conclusion.
Registration for the event is now open through November 13th at Midnight. The entry fee is $20 per 3200m athlete.
This year's meet is expected to once again be bigger than ever with athletes from over 11 states already registered!
