Cohen and Wolf Cinco K De Mayo - 5K Road Race

JOIN US AS WE KICK OFF CINCO DE MAYO WEEKEND IN STYLE ON MAY 4 - it’s a great way to warmup for the celebration for the next day!  

The race will still begin at the High Plains Community Center. BUT WE WILL BE USING  OUR NEW 5k (3.11mi) COURSE that was christened last year. It is a DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER EVENTS THAT START THERE. This is a timed event. 

Our ONE MILE WALK is back - Untimed (or you can still walk the 5k distance and be timed), as well as a free KIDS HOT PEPPER SCAMPER. We also offer a VIRTUAL RUN for those who want to support the cause but can't be with us.

Our fabulous and well known Gecko-design Dri-fit T-shirts will be given to the first 300 registrants (or April 14-whichever comes first). After that sizes are "as available" (or not). So Pre-Register EARLY to get one of these great shirts. DON’T GET SHUT OUT! 

The donation fee to pre register is $30 BUT THERE IS NO ONLINE FEE for the 5k run/walk as well as the one mile walk and our Virtual Run. THE FEE FOR 18 & UNDER IS JUST $23 - and no online fee. 

The Kids Hot Pepper Scamper is FREE.

The fees increase to $35 & $25 on the day of the event. The 5K event distance will be computer timed. Awards will be given to the overall men's and women's champions as well as 1st-2nd-3rd in at least 8 age groups.   

The one mile walk and kids runs are untimed and non-competitive. 

Great food from TACO LOCO RESTAURANT** will be waiting for all paid participants when they get back to the finish. The Mexican spread includes but is not limited to Tacos, Chips and Salsa. MARGARITAS FOR EVERYONE 21 & OVER will also be available with a paid entry. 

General public, friends & family food/margarita tickets will be available online and on the day of the event for $10. REMINDER- a food ticket is INCLUDED WITH A PAID ENTRY.
