Campus Life 5K

Get ready for a refreshing start to your spring at the 12th Annual Campus Life 5K, also known as "The FROZEN 5K!", happening on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in Fresno, CA. This beloved family-friendly event takes place at the scenic Woodward Park, with the start and finish near the Mountain View Shelter. Runners can expect a road course featuring some gentle hills, providing an engaging challenge for all abilities, and it's even stroller-friendly for those running with little ones. Typical race day conditions in early May offer pleasant weather, with highs around 82F and lows around 56F, and only a 2% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the 3.1-mile distance, the Campus Life 5K distinguishes itself with a vibrant atmosphere and exceptional post-race rewards. Participants in the 5K Run/Walk and the Kids 1/4 Mile Fun Run will receive a race shirt, goodie bag, and a finisher's medal to commemorate their accomplishment. But the real treat comes after crossing the finish line: runners can cool down and refuel with delicious breakfast options, refreshing acai bowls from Tower Blendz, and cold brew coffee from Lanna Coffee. This "Frozen" theme, along with prizes for top finishers, makes for a memorable and motivating experience.

This event is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to make every step count for a good cause. Your participation directly supports the Fresno/Madera Youth For Christ's vital mentoring efforts, positively impacting thousands of students each year. The Campus Life 5K fosters community, fitness, and philanthropy, making it a perfect race for seasoned runners and those looking for a joyful jog with family and friends. Join us for a fun-filled morning at Woodward Park and contribute to a meaningful cause.
