46th Annual Nutri-Run 20k & 5 Mile Race

Lace up your shoes for the 46th Annual Nutri-Run 20k & 5 Mile Race, a cherished Fort Wayne tradition set for Saturday, March 21, 2026. Kicking off from The Chapel at 2505 W Hamilton Rd S, this enduring event, a staple in the community for over 45 years, invites runners and walkers to embrace the arrival of spring with a choice of two engaging distances: a challenging 20K, perfect as a half-marathon tune-up, or a spirited 5-mile run/walk.

The 2026 edition boasts a brand new, safer, and enjoyable course that gracefully weaves through scenic Aboite Trails and tranquil subdivision streets, promising a pleasant and engaging experience for all participants. While the course is designed for enjoyment, typical race day conditions for this time of year can present an exciting challenge, with historical highs around 51F and lows near 32F, and a 13% chance of precipitation. For those tackling the 20K, an early start option at 10 AM is available, with a total course time limit of 3 hours (4 hours for early starters), ensuring everyone has ample time to complete their journey.

Beyond the personal challenge, the Nutri-Run celebrates National Nutrition Month and offers a vibrant race atmosphere where strong competition meets a welcoming spirit for all participants. Water stops and refreshments will be available on the course to support runners. Awards will recognize top male, female, and master finishers in both the 20K and 5-mile categories, adding an extra incentive to push for your best. Join fellow enthusiasts in Fort Wayne for a memorable day of fitness, camaraderie, and a taste of early spring running.
