Worst Race Ever
Should we call this the BEST RACE EVER!? Nah...
Welcome to the Worst Race Ever, the 5K that proudly pokes fun at everything runners love to complain about. This year we're celebrating both the fastest and slowest animals out there - because whether you're racing like a cheetah or cruising like a sloth, you'll probably still wonder "Is this over yet?". Come run, walk, shuffle, or snack your way through the most fun you'll ever have at the worst race in town.
