Foodie 5K is a fun walk/run with a post-race festival that includes gourmet food trucks, entertainment, and a kids’ zone. Foodie 5K would not be possible without the help of our volunteers! Foodie 5K volunteers will be directing traffic, working registration, distributing water to participants, guiding and cheering on participants on the course, and much more!
