Meet History:

Over the past 15 years, the Dash for Doobie has established itself as one of the most important meets in the Southeast.

From its humble beginnings as the Reagan Two-Mile Tune-Up in 2008, the meet has grown enormously in both size and quality. DFD has become a competitive cornerstone of both the cross country and indoor track seasons, producing some of the fastest 3200 times in state and national history. Situated between the cross country state meet and the major postseason national meets, it has served multiple purposes for the regional high school running community: preparation for upcoming races, capping off the cross country season with a fast time, qualifying for the indoor state meet.

Fleet Feet has stepped up as the sole sponsor of this event this year, helping to add both substance and flair to the proceedings. As of 2023, the meet is also an official part of the NCRunners Elite family of meets, which means you will always get a quality experience at an affordable price. Last year's meet boasted 12 boys heats and 6 girls heats, and the atmosphere is unparalleled, with crowds on the track, cool November evening temperatures, and excited fans of the running community! The time is coming for you to plan to join this prestigious, historic, and downright fun event.

In addition to its competitive value, the Dash for Doobie also provides important social and academic benefits. Beginning in 2012, the meet took on its current name in memory of Nicholas Doub, a Reagan High School cross country runner who passed away far too soon. To honor the spirit and energy that Nick "Doobie" Doub brought to the Raider family, a scholarship fund was established and gradually expanded. Now, two Reagan seniors and two participating runners (one boy and one girl in each category) will be awarded one-time $500 scholarships.
