The Deep Creek Adventure Bureau (DCAB) proudly presented the first-ever I “Donut” Run Family Fun Day event, which took place at Broadford Lake Park on August 20, 2023. This family-friendly outing served a day filled with movement, family activities, and, of course, delectable donuts.
The event came to life with about 75 enthusiastic participants, young and old, flocking to the venue to take part in the I Donut Run. Each participant earned a Glazed and Confuzed Deep Creek Lake donut and an exclusive sticker as a momento of their participation in the 0.5k event.
Our Fitness Lab Pittsburgh (Fit Lab PGH) partners led an invigorating warm-up and stretching program ensuring that all attendees were physically primed for the run/ walk/ movement event. Whether a seasoned runner or simply looking for lighthearted fun, this event was all about movement and designed for everyone. Participants either tackled a 0.5k course across the dam or opted for a simple movement challenge to race the DCAB bear mascot.
Also, hosted by the Garrett Coyotes Mountain Bike Team, young bikers (age 8 and under) participated in a balance bike race on the Galloping Goose Trail. This exciting showcase allowed kids to hit the trails using their own bikes or borrowing one from our supporters Trail Labs. Every participant was a winner but Eli came in 3rd place, Owen came in 2nd place, and Leland came in 1st place.
Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed activities such as bike skills demonstrations, face painting, jewelry-making, lawn games, and more.
“This event was awesome! We can’t wait to host it again next year,” said DCAB Founder Sarah Myers. “Fit Lab PGH always says that ‘movement is a lifestyle’ and the Donut Run is all about getting moving, exploring the wonderful trails and amenities at Broadford Lake Park, and making family memories. If your organization would like to be involved in year two, we’d love to have you.”
As part of its commitment to the community, the I “Donut” Run event donated a portion of its proceeds to the Garrett County Coyotes Mountain Bike Team, contributing to the growth of local youth mountain biking and in support of the local trail systems.
Special thanks to our vendors and supporters: The Travel Mug, Glazed & Confuzed Donuts, Kona Ice Mountain Maryland, Fitness Lab Pittsburgh, Trail Labs, PushNines Ramps, and the Garrett County Coyotes Mountain Bike Team.
