Join us for the Run for Wishes 5K, a fun, feel-good community run benefiting Make-A-Wish and the incredible children and families they serve. Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or someone who just loves a good cause, this event is for you.
The 5K will take place on the scenic dirt trail surrounding North Park Golf Course, offering a flat, accessible, and enjoyable route for participants of all ages and experience levels. Runners and walkers will enjoy an open-air course with plenty of space, volunteer support along the way, and a welcoming atmosphere from start to finish.
After crossing the finish line, stick around for a celebratory color toss at the end of the run. This colorful celebration is inspired by traditional color runs but takes place only at the finish area, creating a fun and memorable moment for everyone who participates.
Every step you take helps grant life-changing wishes to local wish kids. Come run, walk, celebrate, and make a difference with us at the Run for Wishes 5K.

Learn more about the host city, Albuquerque.
Albuquerque, also known as ABQ, is a vibrant, sprawling city near the center of New Mexico. Cradled in the Rio Grande Valley beneath the Sandia Mountains, it is by far the largest city in the state, acting as the media, educational, and economic center of New Mexico, as well as the home of the state's only major airport, making it a common entry point into New Mexico. Despite this, Albuquerque is often overshadowed as a tourist destination by Santa Fe, 60 miles (97 km) to the north.
