The Ibis Summer Dash (Japanese アイビスサマーダッシュ) is a Grade 3 horse race in Japan for Thoroughbreds aged three and over. It is run in July each year over a distance of 1000 meters on turf at Niigata Racecourse.
The race was first run in 2001 and has held Grade 3 status ever since. Since its creation, it is the only Graded Race in Japan with an exclusively straight-line course.
It was also a step race for the Sprinters Stakes until 2005 but lost that status since then.
