About the Event

Join us for the Black Friday 5K, a free, fun, and inclusive community run that turns the busiest shopping day of the year into something healthier and more meaningful. Funded by suggested donations, generous members, and local community partners, this event is all about moving your body, connecting with others, and rethinking holiday traditions. It's better than shopping and more fun than the over-crowded turkey trots. So lace up your running shoes and join us for a morning of fitness, friendship, and fun!

The Black Friday 5K is not your typical holiday event. Instead of getting caught up in the chaos of shopping and spending money, this community run encourages you to focus on what really matters - your health and happiness. It's a chance to break away from the consumerism that often defines the holiday season and instead, embrace a more active and meaningful way to celebrate.

This annual event is made possible through the support of donations from participants, generous individuals, and local businesses. By participating in the Black Friday 5K, you are not only investing in your own well-being but also supporting the community around you.

But don't worry, this run is not all serious business. It's also a great opportunity to make new friends and have some fun! Whether you are a seasoned runner or just starting out, everyone is welcome to join in on the fun. And with a variety of age categories, there's something for everyone.

Instead of fighting crowds at the mall, come join us for a morning filled with fitness, friendship, and fun! Register now and let's make this holiday season one to remember for all the right reasons.
