15th Annual 5K Run, Walk & Roll with the Huskies
The 15th Annual 5K Run, Walk & Roll with the Huskies is an inclusive athletic event held in Saint Joseph, Missouri. The course starts and finishes in the parking lot across from Phil Welch Stadium and the Bode Ice Arena. Participants travel through the Southwest Parkway, crossing over the trail bridge at Belt Highway before returning. The route offers views of the Fairview golf course and the local parkway system.
Participants can choose between two primary options for the 3.1 mile distance:
- 5K Run, Walk & Roll TIMED: This option includes a chip timer for official results.
- 5K Run, Walk & Roll NOT TIMED: This version does not include a chip timer.
In addition to the 5K event, there is a 1 mile Fun Walk & Roll. This shorter distance is free to participate in and follows a path from the Phil Welch Stadium parking lot to 22nd Street and back. Both courses are designed to accommodate various mobility needs, including those using wheelchairs or other rolling devices.
The event features chip timing provided by Show Me Running Company, offering instant results and finish line photos for timed participants. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in age groups ranging from 11 and under to 70 and over. Water and snacks are available at the start and finish area, and restrooms are accessible at the Bode Ice Arena and Phil Welch Stadium. Friendly dogs on leashes with updated vaccinations are permitted to attend.
Funds raised during the event support the Helen Davis PTO in providing for the unmet needs of the Helen Davis State School, which serves students with developmental disabilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
