VJS Community Foundation 5K

Lace up your shoes for the 6th Annual VJS Community Foundation 5K, a cherished event taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in scenic Pewaukee, Wisconsin. This engaging 5K fun run/walk offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a morning of fitness while contributing to vital local non-profit organizations, with over a hundred thousand dollars raised since its inception in 2018. The race begins and ends at the VJS Construction Services parking lot, guiding participants on a picturesque route through the Pewaukee Business Park.

The course itself is celebrated for its "fast and flat" elevation, providing an accessible and enjoyable experience for runners and walkers of all levels. This road-based route is not only scenic but also exceptionally welcoming, as strollers and even furry friends are encouraged to join in the fun. Typical race day conditions in early May feature pleasant highs around 61°F and lows around 41°F, with only a 17% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a comfortable and energetic outing.

Beyond the run, the VJS Community Foundation 5K fosters a vibrant community spirit. After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to a lively post-race celebration on the VJS patio, complete with snacks, beverages, and an awards ceremony. This event embodies a commitment to giving back, making it more than just a race – it's an uplifting experience that brings people together to support a great cause.
