Elim Eagles' Wings 5K
The Elim Eagles' Wings 5K is scheduled for May 2, 2026 and will be the 16th annual running of the event. This year the event uses a Bubble Run theme and is organized as an unofficially timed fun run intended for broad community participation.
Registration is handled online and same-day registration will not be offered. Participants who do not pre-register will not receive a t-shirt or race bib. T-shirts are guaranteed for participants registered online by April 3; registrations after that date may not receive a shirt by race day. Organizers will send a follow-up email with shirt distribution details.
Packet pickup takes place on April 28 from 3 to 6 PM in Elim's south parking lot on the main campus on Central Avenue in Crestwood. Parking is available in campus lots on Central Avenue and attendees should allow extra time due to crowds.
The event does not include an official virtual option, though individuals may complete their own 5K and share photos with organizers. A Kids' Corner will offer free activities and prizes without pre-registration. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event, and winners need not be present but must supply contact information for prize notification. In case of rain the event will proceed; severe weather may result in a short postponement or cancellation without refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
