The Hapi-ness 5K is an annual community running event held in Laramie, Wyoming at 1355 North 22nd Street. The event features a 3.1 miles course and is presented as the 40th annual edition, tracing its origin to 1987 when it was started by the 9th grade class of Laramie Junior High School in memory of a classmate who died from leukemia. Over the years the event has directed support to families facing medical challenges and other hardships.
Registration opens March 31, 2027 and closes May 8, 2027. The listed registration fee is $30.00. There is a shirt order deadline of April 24; orders placed after that date are for event entry only and do not include a shirt.
For the current year the event organizers plan to dedicate donations to a local classmate who is undergoing leukemia treatment at Denver Childrens Hospital and is awaiting a bone marrow transplant. The organizers describe this student as an active member of the Student Leadership team who shows determination, compassion, and inclusivity in school activities.
