Get ready to experience the vibrant spirit of Fuquay-Varina at Run the Quay on June 6, 2026! This beloved annual event invites runners of all ages and fitness levels to hit the scenic, tree-lined streets of Historic Downtown Fuquay. Choose your challenge from the certified 10K, 5K, or the family-friendly 1-mile distance, with typical race day conditions seeing highs around 86F and lows around 63F, and a 15% chance of precipitation.

The course is known for winding through quiet neighborhoods, offering shaded sections that provide some relief from the early summer warmth. While it's not a flat race, runners can expect an enjoyable journey with rolling hills throughout. A unique highlight is the "15 Quay Challenge," where ambitious participants tackle both the 10K and 5K distances back-to-back. Enthusiastic volunteers and strong community support are hallmarks of this race, creating a fun atmosphere from start to finish.

Run the Quay is more than just a race; it's a true community celebration, complete with a post-race Family Fun Day. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a lively vendor village, food trucks, and a DJ setting a party-like atmosphere. For the younger athletes, the WakeMed Children's Twinkle Dash offers 50-yard and 100-yard dashes, making it a perfect event for the whole family.
