2026 Virtual Viking Fest Road Race 5K:

Can’t make race day? You can still make an impact.

The 2026 Virtual Viking Fest 5K lets you support your community on your own schedule, your own route, and your own way. Walk along the waterfront, jog through your neighborhood, bike through a local park, or take your miles wherever life takes you. Whether you choose to walk, bike, run, or swim, every mile directly supports Poulsbo Parks & Recreation and helps keep Poulsbo active, inclusive, and connected!

You will have 2 weeks between May 1st and May 15th to complete 5 kilometres (3.1 miles), in any location and format you choose!

To get started:

1. Register. You will receive a custom race bib to print out at home!

All registrants will receive an exclusive VVFRR 5K medal!! Pick up your medal from the Rec Center anytime between May 18th and May 31st.

2. Invite friends to join you by sharing this invitation within and beyond the Poulsbo community!

3. Complete your race. Submit your results by email or online, with or without a time included. Take a picture with your bib and email it to parksrec@cityofpoulsbo.com with your name and where you finished your 5K. You can also share your journey on social media using the hashtag #VitrualVikingFestRoadRace2026 and tagging @PoulsboParksRec.

4. WIN! There are 2 opportunities to win a prize giveaway. Enter yourself in one or both! All participants who upload their results via the RunSignUp platform will be entered into a random drawing for a giveaway! All participants who submit a photo to parksrec@cityofpoulsbo.com of them with their bib including their name and location they completed their 5K will also be entered into a random drawing for giveaway!

Register for $40 until April 14th, when the price will increase to $45 until registration closes and the race wraps up on May 15th — all proceeds benefit Poulsbo Parks & Recreation!

Your registration fee stays right here in Poulsbo, helping fund free senior recreation programs, adaptive trikes for inclusive mobility, and community parks and recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities.
