Run. Jog. Roll. Stroll. (Or donate.)

Wildlight and 1st Place Sports is putting on the third annual Run Wild 5K & 10K (and fun run!) on Saturday, March 8th, 2025, where we’ll be running along the trails and through the neighborhoods of Wildlight. And that’s not all that’s taking place at the race. Every registered participant gets a Dri-fit shirt, medal and belt bag — plus fun pre- and post-race activities, too.

And if you’d rather not run, you can still participate by making a donation. Either way, you’ll get an exclusive VIP enamel pin, as our thanks for attending the Boys & Girls Clubs gala.

Want to know where you’re running?

We’ve mapped out the course, and it’s a good one—with both our 5K and 10K leading you along the Wildlight Trailways. Take a peek. (Practice run optional.)

Run For Good

All proceeds benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Foundation and their mission of funding after-school and summer programs for community youth — providing them with a safe place to study, be surrounded by positive influences, and develop their leadership skills.

We’re adding some fun to the run

For Families

There’s a 1-mile fun run. And then there’s just plain fun: like games in the Kids’ Zone, a balloon artist making special creations and more.

For Everyone

Enjoy pre- or post-race eats, with food trucks and coffee from Mocama Coffee. Grab a healthy (and free) snack at the fruit stand. Stop by and listen to live music from The Honey Badgers. And commemorate the morning at our selfie station (post your pic on our instagram!).

For The Runners

Before you start, warm up with the Wildlight YMCA. Then hit your mark and go. Once you cross the finish line, get an assessment done by UF Rehab and a massage by Massage Theory. (And don’t forget to grab your belt bag and even good-ier free beer!)

A big thank you
