The inaugural Delphi Diamond Dash is set for Saturday.

Featured will be a USATF certified 5K run/walk (3.1 miles) and noncompetitive one-mile Fun Run for kids. The run/walk, sponsored by Delphi Preservation Society, will wind through the city’s historic district, starting and ending at the Courthouse Square.

WLFI TV-18 morning anchor and former DCHS graduate Joe LePage will start the 5K Run/Walk at 8:30 a.m. on South Washington Street.

The Kids Fun Run will start from the Square at 9:45 a.m.

The registration tent will open on the Courthouse Square at 7 a.m. on race day. Preregistration packets may be picked up at that time.

Awards will be presented for the 5K run and the Kid’s Fun Run. The drawing for the diamond necklace grand prize will be at 10:30.

The first annual run is a fundraiser to help replace the roof on the historic Delphi Opera House.
