The Ascent 5K & Wellness Festival
The Ascent 5K & Wellness Festival is a community run, walk, and roll event on March 27, 2027, at Rob Fleming Park in The Woodlands, Texas. The event is hosted by The Phoenix Journey, a nonprofit that supports people living with autoimmune diseases.
The event offers multiple race options:
- 5K competitive, timed race with age-group awards
- Kids Dash (250 m) for children 10 and under, with awards for the top three
Race features include a one hour time limit to complete the course, mile markers along the route, a custom race shirt and a finisher medal for participants. Additional awards are given for Best Costume, Most Creative Costume, and Largest Group. Walkers, rollers, and fun-run participants are welcome at any pace.
The festival side includes music, vendors, giveaways, post-race refreshments, and wellness experiences that continue into the afternoon. The event program also includes participant check-in, opening announcements, awards presentations, and a closing ceremony.
A volunteer and run option allows participants to assist with setup and registration before running the 5K; this option includes a participant discount. The event’s weather and refund policy notes that events proceed in most conditions, may be delayed or the course altered for safety, and that refunds are generally not available.
