Wildcat Summer Cup - August 5K

The Wildcat Summer Cup - June 5K is the Vaughn Road Park event in a three-race summer 5K series sponsored by River Region Runners and hosted by the Sunrise Social Club. The races occur every second Sunday during the summer, begin at 7 AM, and follow a marked course with hand timing. A single $20 payment covers the entire series, offering runners three 5Ks for the cost of one local entry. The June race begins the series, preceding later stops at Cloverdale Park and the Union Station Train Shed. The organizers aim for a casual setup, describing the races as "very unofficial." Registration remains open through the summer, bib pickup is available on race mornings, and runners use the same bib for the season. The social aspect is as important as the timing, with a post-race BYOB potluck brunch and a stated goal of improving speed while enjoying doughnuts.
