Worthington Waddle 5K 2026

The Worthington Waddle 5K is an annual run/walk in Worthington, with race-morning packet pickup and registration at the park’s Community Building before a 9:00 a.m. start. Tri Kappa hosts the event, which is part of the Mag 7 series. Entry can include a shirt, but participants can skip the shirt for a small discount. The race is a 5K, with prizes that give it more personality than a standard local road race. The top male and female runners and walkers win turkeys, and walkers must complete the full distance to qualify. After the finish, participants receive doughnuts, hot chocolate, apple cider, coffee, and fruit. There is also a prize for the “hammiest” costume. Proceeds benefit Worthington Tri Kappa’s charities.
