Lace up your running shoes for the inspiring Burn Camp 5K, set to take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Kaysville, UT. This family-friendly event, hosted by the University of Utah Burn Center, offers a compelling 5K distance on a fast and flat road course within the scenic Barnes Park, complete with two loops. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 63F and lows near 41F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a personal best. The course is also dog and stroller friendly, ensuring everyone can participate in the fun.

What truly sets the Burn Camp 5K apart is its unwavering commitment to a noble cause, with all proceeds directly supporting the University of Utah Burn Camp Programs for burn survivors of all ages. This celebratory 10th anniversary race goes beyond a typical run, transforming into a vibrant "safety fair" at Barnes Park. Participants and spectators can enjoy a rock wall, face painting, raffles with great prizes, and even get up close with a University of Utah Air Med Helicopter and Kaysville City Fire and Police Vehicles.

The atmosphere at the Burn Camp 5K is consistently praised, with runners describing it as an "amazing race" and a truly fun experience for the whole family. With three aid stations per loop offering water and Gnarly Nutrition Electrolyte Drink, runners will be well-supported throughout the 5K. The 5K kicks off at 9:00 AM from Barnes Park Pavilion #1, inviting participants to "run with real life superheroes" and contribute to a cause that makes a profound difference in the lives of burn survivors.
