Spring Fling 5k Run/Walk

🌼 Event Overview

Join us for the third annual Spring Fling 5k Run/Walk hosted by the Wichita Falls Runners Club.

This great course starts at the Main Pavilion (next to the Sound Garden) at Lucy Park and winds along a shady tree-lined trail adjacent to the Wichita River. Runners and walkers will enjoy the undulating out-and-back course that passes the Wichita Falls waterfall and then returns to an enthusiastic finish line crowd. The trail is a fully paved 10ft wide path.
