Winter Wonder Dash
The Winter Wonder Dash is a Fort4Fitness event held in Franke Park in Fort Wayne, Indiana on November 13 and 14, 2026. Fort4Fitness is a non profit organization that hosts fitness events and programs in Northeast Indiana. Blue Jacket, Inc. provides the park holiday light displays; participants pass through over 200 light displays during the event.
The event program includes in person and virtual options. The in person program offers a family 2K walk that is untimed with an open start window, and 5K run and run walk options that are timed and staged in separate waves. There is a free registration category for children ages five and under.
Virtual participants may complete a 2K or 5K at a time and place of their choosing. Virtual entries are not timed and do not receive a race bib. Virtual participants receive a t shirt and a commemorative Winter Wonder Dash ornament either at packet pick up or by mail; mailings are scheduled to go out the week of November 18, 2026.
Awards for the 5K will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers in the following categories: 14 and under, Overall, and Masters 40 and older.
