Lace up your shoes and start stretching. Wildlight and 1st Place Sports are putting on the 5th annual Run Wild 5K, 10K & 1-mile fun run on Saturday, April 3rd, 2027. We’re going to have a new course through the community, plus more taking place at the race — like fun pre- and post-run activities. (Every registered participant gets some serious swag, too.)
Well, the answer is that this year is a new course, and we’re still finalizing the day’s details. But here’s a hint: it’s going to be exciting and a fun and fresh route for runners! Stay tuned for the map.
There’s a 1-mile fun run. And then there’s just plain fun. Like games in the Kids’ Zone, a balloon artist and face painter, cool treats from Kona Ice and more.
Enjoy pre- and post-race eats at the food trucks. Grab a healthy (and free) snack at the fruit stand. Listen to live music from The Honey Badgers. Cheers a crisp beer from a local brewery. And commemorate the morning at our selfie station (don’t forget to post your pic on Insta and tag @wildlightliving).
Before you start, warm up with the Wildlight YMCA, then take your mark and go. Once you cross the finish line (yay, you!), get an assessment done by UF Rehab. And don’t forget to grab your swag (and a few high fives, too).
