2026 Wolverine 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the 2026 Wolverine 5K, a vibrant 3.1-mile road race held on Sunday, August 9th, in picturesque Waterford, Wisconsin. Kicking off at 10 AM from the upper parking lot of Waterford Union High School, this event offers a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself while supporting a great cause. The course guides runners through local streets, starting from the parking lot and winding along Barnes Drive, Franklin, Rhoda Drive, and Poplar Grove before leading into Still Pond Drive and Willow Bend. This officially timed 5K promises an engaging experience for runners of all levels.

More than just a race, the Wolverine 5K is a community effort dedicated to bolstering the Waterford Union High School Cross Country team. Funds raised directly contribute to essential needs like athlete transportation to off-site practices, team shirts, and crucial recovery equipment such as foam rollers, chocolate milk, and snacks. Participants will enjoy typical race day conditions with historical highs around 80°F and lows around 59°F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather. Ample parking and on-site restrooms at Waterford Union High School ensure a convenient and comfortable experience, with packet pick-up beginning at 8:30 AM on race day.

Celebrate your achievement and vie for awards, presented to the top three finishers across various age categories, ranging from 13 and under to 60+. Join fellow runners in Waterford for a fun run that makes a tangible difference for young athletes in the community.
