Run, leap, and spread rainbow cheer as a new surge of activity and celebration sweeps across Azeroth from the tropical shores of the Echo Isles to soaring spires of Silvermoon City with the Darkspear Dash.
Starts: 27 June, 00:01 BST
Ends: 28 June, 23:59 BST
This vibrant new micro-holiday invites champions to join the Darkspear trolls and their Zandalari allies in a race across Azeroth, their path marked by celebration, spectacle, and a touch of mischievous magic.
Take a moment to honor tradition, community, and camaraderie in this race across Azeroth inspired by the Running of the Trolls community event—a charity-driven fun run held in support of the Trevor Project.
Find the Festivities and Follow the Rainbow
Accepting the quest "Doing the Dash" from a Holiday Enthusiast in any capital city will lead you to festivities and straight into the splash, sparkle, and booming beach party on the tropical shores of the Echo Isles.
From the Echo Isles, it’s full speed ahead through Durotar, Western Plaguelands, Eastern Plaguelands, Eversong Woods, and Silvermoon City as rainbow-revelers race across continents in a burst of color and chaos, ending in an extravagant pool party within the city’s grand fountain.
Passing each gate has the possibility of granting the “Ready to Roll” buff to fleet-footed runners, allowing them to leap into the air and help increase the movement speed of nearby allies.
Along the way, players can and should drink from the Horn of Mojo at water stations to become Hydrated (and faster on their feet).
A Burst of Brilliant Rewards
Completing the “Darkspear Dash” quest rewards the new Troll Scroll of Rainbow Roll toy, allowing you to leap through the air in colorful style. You’ll be a racing rainbow as you roll like a troll with this toy!
