While specific course details for this first annual event are emerging, runners can anticipate a pleasant experience within the park's welcoming atmosphere, designed for both seasoned athletes and those looking for a leisurely walk.

The EagleFest 5K is more than just a race; it's a cornerstone of the larger EagleFest celebration hosted by the Vilonia Community Development Corporation, which in previous years has featured a fishing derby, car show, local food vendors, and live music. This promises a festive backdrop to your race experience, making it a unique opportunity to engage with the local culture and enjoy a bustling community event. Typical race day conditions in mid-May for Vilonia offer comfortable temperatures, with highs around 80°F and lows around 58°F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation, creating generally favorable running weather.

Join fellow participants at Weaver Family Park, located at 55 N Mt. Olive Road, for a memorable 5K that embraces fitness, camaraderie, and the lively atmosphere of EagleFest. This event is quickly becoming a local favorite, offering a fantastic way to enjoy the great outdoors and support the Vilonia community.
