Wildcat Summer Cup - June 5K

Lace up your shoes for the Wildcat Summer Cup - June 5K, an exciting installment of the Sunrise Social Club's Wildcat Summer Series. This 3.11-mile (5K) event, hosted by the River Region Runners (R3), is set to take place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, in Montgomery, Alabama. Starting bright and early at 7:00 AM CDT from Vaughn Road Park (2858 Fieldcrest Dr), this race offers a fantastic opportunity to stay active and connect with the running community.

The Wildcat Summer Cup series is known for its fun, "unofficial" atmosphere, focusing on improving your 5K game while enjoying a relaxed vibe. Typical race day conditions in mid-June in Montgomery see highs around 93°F and lows around 70°F, with a 14% chance of precipitation, making the early morning start ideal.

Participants are invited to a lively BYOB potluck brunch, often held in front of Union Station, where you can celebrate your achievement with fellow runners and indulge in some well-deserved doughnuts.

The Wildcat Summer Series itself is an exceptional value, with a single payment securing your bib for multiple races throughout the summer, encouraging consistent participation. Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or looking for a friendly, social run to kickstart your Sunday, the Wildcat Summer Cup - June 5K promises an energetic morning of running, community, and delicious post-race treats.
