Emma Creek Classic 5K/1M

🏃‍♀️ Welcome to the 34th Annual Emma Creek Classic

This is our annual fundraiser to raise funds to serve our youth, who due to budgetary constraints, would not be able to participate. This race is a critical part of our mission which is "to serve our community so that people of all ages and abilities can have fun, grow and feel a sense of belonging."

Note: If you have participated in the past, things will be a little different this year due to the construction around the high school. Please take note.

🎁 Swag and Schedule

• Swag Bags: The first 600 who sign up will receive a swag bag with goodies from our sponsors as well as a 2025 Emma Creek t-shirt.
