8RUN5 Turns One! Community 5K
One year ago, a few people showed up for a run. Since then, 8RUN5 has grown into a community built on movement, connection, and showing up for one another.
To celebrate our first birthday, we're inviting everyone to join us for a free, untimed community 5K.
This isn't a race. There is no pressure, and no pace requirements. Just a morning to celebrate the friendships we've built, welcome new faces, and enjoy a run together.
If you've joined us every Tuesday or this is your very first 8RUN5 event, we're excited to have you.
