5K Run

The Wild Rose 5K Run is a competitive race designed for runners of all levels who want to test their speed on a flat, fast course. Participants in this division are eligible for top finisher awards and will receive their choice of Wild Rose apparel swag (tech shirt or BOCO hat). The course features a popsicle loop through William Hughes Park with only 40 feet of elevation gain, making it approachable yet exciting for anyone chasing a strong finish.

5K Walk

The Wild Rose 5K Walk is a non-competitive option perfect for those who want to enjoy the course at their own pace. This division is offered at a lower entry fee and focuses on participation rather than competition. Walkers are not eligible for top finisher awards or apparel swag, but will still receive a participant award and a beer ticket from Moksa Brewing Co. Whether you’re out to move, stroll, or simply soak up the event atmosphere, the 5K Walk is a fun way to be part of race day.
