Waggin' Wild 5k & Fun Run : Greensboro, NC (March 7, 2026)

The event takes place at Bur-Mil Park, 5834 Bur-Mill Club Rd, Greensboro, NC. It includes two event distances:

  • 5K
  • 1-mile Fun Run

The course begins at the Wildlife Center in Bur-Mil Park and runs on the paved Greenway. The bridge north of Bur-Mil is under construction, so the course heads toward Old Battleground Road on the Greenway. The 5K is chip timed by Junction 311 Endurance Sports. The event raises funds for spay/neuter assistance, medical care and rescue efforts for local pets.
