Mother's Day Classic 5k

REGISTER BY FEBRUARY 14TH FOR EARLY BIRD PRICING!

NEW IN 2020: A post-race party at Norse Brewing Company with a  free "MOMosa" for all the women finishers! Every woman will be treated to a special Nordic version of the ever-popular mimosa. (Okay, well, it may be just like the American version.) Don't worry men -- there will be something special for you too, but it won't be served in a champagne flute.

Join us Sunday, May 10, 2020 (start time 8:30am) 
Don't leave anyone at home! This event is open to men, women, children, and your furry family members too. The run is stroller-friendly and pet-friendly (pets on leashes, please) so don't worry about getting a babysitter or dogsitter.  

Course Description
This is a 5k course run entirely on the streets of Wake Forest. Starting and finishing at Centennial Plaza, you will enjoy a site-seeing tour of the historic streets of Wake Forest.  Go at your own pace - run or walk your way back to the finish line. All registered runners will receive official times, and are eligible for awards.

Food Drive
We ask that everyone attending our event (runners, volunteers, and spectators) please bring a food item to our race weekend food drive. While you are running, the North East Wake Backpack Buddies will be organizing and dividing the food so that it can be distributed to feed our local children.

This is a great way to get children of every age involved in community service. Every child understands what it feels like to be hungry. Take them to the store and give them $5 to purchase items for the food-drive.
