Event Overview

The Wildcat Summer Cup - August 5K is a running event held in downtown Montgomery. This event serves as the final installment of a three-part summer series sponsored by the River Region Runners (R3) and hosted by the Sunrise Social Club. The series takes place on the second Sunday of each month throughout the summer, with the August race held at Union Station Train Shed.

Participants can register for the entire series with a single payment, which covers entry into all three scheduled 5 km runs. The event emphasizes a social atmosphere, featuring a Bring Your Own Beverage (BYOB) potluck brunch after the run.

Course and Timing

The event is managed with a focus on community participation rather than formal competition:

5 km run on a marked course.

The race is hand timed and described as very unofficial. Participants are responsible for keeping their assigned race bibs throughout the summer and bringing them to each individual event. Bib pickup is available on-site on race mornings, and registration remains open throughout the season.
