It’s A Vibe Run - 5K, 1Mile & Kids Dash

Lace up your shoes and get ready to experience the inaugural It’s A Vibe Run on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in charming Benton City, Washington. This event, hosted by It's a Vibe: Life Affirming Events, is designed to foster a vibrant running community and inspire confidence through physical activity and positive energy. Runners can choose from a spirited 5K, a fun 1-Mile run, or an energetic Kids Dash, ensuring there's a distance for every age and ability. Typical race day conditions in early May offer ideal running weather, with comfortable highs around 71°F and lows around 45°F, and only a 2% chance of precipitation.

The 5K and 1-Mile courses promise a scenic journey along the Benton City trail, culminating in a stunning finish, while the Kids Dash offers two exciting laps around the Benton City Community Park. Participants can expect a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, with cheering squads and fellow runners creating a truly positive "vibe" throughout the event. To keep you hydrated and energized, an aid station will be strategically placed at the half-mile mark for the 1-mile race and at the halfway point for the 5K.

Beyond the race itself, every finisher will be celebrated with a unique medal, and post-race goodies will be available to refuel your energy. The event kicks off with registration opening at 8:00 AM at the Community Center located at 806 Dale Ave, which also serves as the packet pickup location on race day. With free race photos and music at the finish line, the It's A Vibe Run offers more than just a race; it's an unforgettable experience filled with community spirit and good memories.
