The BIG Run - Cary
The BIG Run is a free, untimed 5K fun run held at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina on June 14, 2026. The event follows the marked cross country course at the park, which is mostly grass and dirt and includes sections of rough terrain in the woods. Because the course is not on pavement and has uneven surfaces, it may be difficult to navigate with a stroller. Dogs are not allowed at the park or on the course.
The program includes a group warmup led by Black Girls RUN! and a post run yoga cooldown led by YogaSix. Participants receive a finisher medal. The event features music, local coffee and food truck options from Sipside Coffee, vendor giveaways, and other community activities. Registration for the 5K opens on March 24, 2026 and closes on June 13, 2026. Registration fee is listed as $0.00.
The event is described as a celebratory community run rather than a competitive race; there is no official timing or race results. The course surface and wooded sections should be considered when planning footwear and equipment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
