Join friends and neighbors of Kingsbury for its 16th annual on-campus race. The beautiful terrain that makes up the 100 acres of our incredible campus will challenge both runners and walkers with trails, roads, meadows, and hills in a 5K course that will be as memorable as it is demanding. In addition to the 5K race or obstacle race, a Free Fun Glow Run for younger runners will take place after the completion of the 5K race and obstacle run.
Gift Cards from Hanson's Running Shop will be awarded to the top three male and top three female 5K participants 15+. ($25, $15, $10 for both male and female winners)
Prizes will also be awarded to the top 5k male and female finishers 14 and under.

5k participants will have a chip timer
Join friends and neighbors and conquer the Cougar Mudder 5K Obstacle Course Race.
