Lace up your running shoes and embrace your inner Viking at the Viking 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to conquer Winston-Salem, NC, on Saturday, February 14, 2026. Kicking off at 8:00 AM from the scenic Jamison Park (285 Meadowlark Dr), this event offers a challenge for every level, with 5K, 10K, and 13.1-mile half marathon distances available. The course is an engaging out-and-back design, taking runners through the beautiful surroundings of Forsyth County; the 5K completes it once, the 10K twice, and half marathoners will tackle the route four times. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 53F and lows around 33F, and a low 12% chance of precipitation.

This community-focused race promises a vibrant atmosphere, perfect for both seasoned athletes and those new to the starting line. All finishers will proudly earn a medal to commemorate their achievement, and participants can even join in a "Best Costume" contest for an extra dash of fun. With a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the Half Marathon, there's ample opportunity to push your limits and enjoy the journey. Remember to register online, as on-site registration is not available, and packet pickup conveniently begins 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM start.
