WWE ANNUAL RUN WITH THE WOLVES

🦸 In 2026 WWE Run With The Wolves is going Superhero Mode, so cape up and race on! All 5k and 1k participants will receive a WWE Run With The Wolves superhero logo t-shirt as part of registration. All proceeds from the race are granted back to the school by the PTSA. Be a real hero and help make 2026 the most super race to date!

🎉 Every hero deserves a victory celebration! Bring your bib to Freedom Street Social after the race where young heroes will have earned a free small treat from Jeremiah's and adult superheroes get their choice of a free house wine or 16 oz beer.

🥇The top female and male finishers in kindergarten through 5th grade will receive their medals and awards during the school week following the race. Medals and awards for the top middle school, high school, and adult finishers will be distributed at the post-race award ceremony.

🚒 Due to current water restrictions, the Arvada Fire Department's famous post-race spray down may not be possible this year.  But don't worry, our hometown heroes still plan to join us with one of their fire trucks, and the post-race bubble cannon will be back by popular demand!

Your chip time starts when your timing chip crosses the start line.  Your timing chip is adhered to the back of your race bib (race number.)  You will receive this number from the registration volunteers when you pick up your race packet.  Please wear the bib that is assigned to YOU and not to someone else in your family.  Please wear the bib on the FRONT, OUTSIDE of your clothing just above your hips.  If you wear a bib assigned to someone else or do not wear the bib HORIZONTALLY on the front, outside of your clothing, your result may not register and you will be ineligible for awards.

RESULTS will be sent to you electronically upon finishing (if you opt in for that option during registration) and will be available to view here LIVE during the event and after the race.  Please email us if you find an error, in the case that you wore someone else's bib or your age/gender information, name spelling, etc is incorrect.  info@3wraces.com  RESULTS will be posted LIVE during the event on the RESULTS PAGE.
