Farmers 5000
The Farmers 5000 is a school-based 5K fundraiser held at Wheat Ridge High School in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Established in 1981, the event starts and finishes in front of the school and follows a course through the surrounding neighborhoods, making it a community-centered running event.
The event program includes a 5K run and walk, a Fun Run, and a virtual race option. Multiple registration categories are offered, including adult, alumni, and age-based student divisions for elementary, middle, and high school participants, plus a category for older adult runners. Some registration categories include a t-shirt. Registration fees vary by category, with examples in the event information ranging from $10 to $30.
All funds collected from entry fees are directed to educational and special programs within the school. The Farmers 5000 combines athletic activity with fundraising to support school programs and to engage the local community in an organized, school-hosted event.
