The Renton Dragon Dash took off Sunday, April 14, beneath the statue of Erasmus the Rooftop Dragon on Wells Avenue.

A crowd of 300 5K and 10K runners and walkers and spectators — plus a few dragon-friendly dogs — gathered before 9 a.m. when the dash began. As they completed their 5K and 10K, vendors set up booths for a small Erasmus-inspired street fair complete with a mermaid booth, dancers, chalk drawings and a chance to pull a sword from the stone.
