The Woodfin 5K is a community run/walk in Woodfin, North Carolina. It begins at Woodfin Elementary School at 9:00 AM and directly supports the school. Children 11 and under can participate for free and will still receive a race shirt.
The race, held annually since 2014, has generated over $65,000 for kindergarten through fourth-grade classrooms. Woodfin Elementary organizes the event with assistance from the school PTO, the Town of Woodfin, YMCA of WNC, New Life Community Church, Reynolds Mountain Homeowners Association, and local volunteers. Awards are given to the top overall runners, masters runners aged 40 and up, and age-group finishers ranging from young children to older adults.
