MK5K...

• 5k Run:- Run 3.1 Miles
• 1 Mile Run:- Run 1 Mile

I am exited to announce that the nationally known MK5K benefiting The Mary Kay Foundation is coming to Wake Forest! On Sunday, May 14 - Mother's Day - we will have the 1st running of the MK5K based out of Wake Forest High School and running through the tree-lined streets of historic Wake Forest.

Course

The 5K run/walk starts on Stadium Drive along side Wake Forest High School. Continue through the shade of downtown Wake Forest and make your way to Main Street for an out-and-back stretch along N. Main. Enjoy looking at the historic homes and u-turn at the original home of Wake Forest Univiersty, now the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

There will be 2 opportunities for water on the race course. With a nice mix of flat stretches and a few hills this run provides something for everyone.

Training for a 5K

Looking for a good training plan? Just google "5K training plan" and wow... here's one that I liked as it has 3 options for a first 5K, best 5K, or fast 5K! View the plan!

The minimum pace requirement for the 5K is 20-minutes per mile. Awards will be announced at 9:30am, and volunteers will be released after the last "official" runner. HOWEVER, you will still get a medal and our finish line will be open until 10am!
