Power of Parks 5k (without shirt) 2026

The Power of Parks 5K is a summer 5K run or walk associated with the Urbana Park District. It offers an in-person option at Meadowbrook Park and a virtual option for those preferring to complete the distance on their own schedule. The event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, accommodating casual walkers, first-time 5K runners, and experienced runners alike. For the in-person race, participants will run a timed 5K course outdoors at Meadowbrook Park, which includes the Wandell Sculpture Garden within its setting. The virtual option allows individuals to complete their miles anywhere, though the park district suggests using one of its parks. Registration can include race merchandise like a shirt, medal, bib, and sticker. Virtual participants are encouraged to submit their times and photos for the event’s power board.
