Badger Cove Half Marathon/10K/5K 2026

The AAUW Wildflower Run raises money for scholarships and leadership programs for women & girls and community grants. (For information about our organization, go to www.aauwmh.org.) 10K Run, 5K Run, 5K Walk, and 5K stroller/baby jogger category are all on country roads with chip timing. The Kids' 2K Run (ages 5-11) and our "all inclusive, non-competitive" 2K Fun Run/Walk (for ages 2-102) are both on a school track.

Our new 5K and 10K routes are in a country setting surrounding Morgan Hill with flat terrain on paved roads. Flat and fast for runners wanting to improve their personal record times. Water available at start and finish of race, with multiple water stops along the routes. Strollers are welcome everywhere except on the school's track. No pets permitted on school grounds.

NOTE: The event is an "open course", so you will need to stay to the side of the road as some vehicular traffic is expected.

Register early to be guaranteed a unique, 2026 T-shirt in your size. In addition to your limited edition T-shirt, we offer bonus baby-T's for the stroller event (while supplies last) and themed medals for youth. See wildflowerrun.org for details.

The Youth Splash and Dash is our first swim & run for kids ages 6-14. Come celebrate our first event with a full size finish line with snacks and finisher certificates and hang out with their friends.

This would be an introductory event that would prepare the kids for their first triathlon/aquathlon.

The main goal is to wake up the outdoor spirit in our little athletes and walk them through the transition in this type of sport that is lately gaining in popularity.

Distances are short and intended simply to expose our youngest athletes to the basic elements of two legs of triathlon.

The swim will take place in the Washington pool, which has 25 yard lanes. Ages 6-10 will do 4 lengths, and ages 11-14 will do 8 lengths. Volunteers will help count laps.

The transition from swim to run will take the youth to the picnic area before doing a loop around a nearby section of campus. The run course will be supported by cheering, excited volunteers. 11-14 year old will do two loops.

Note: triathletes usually swim and run in the same clothes! There will not be a changing area, but we will have an area for youth to put clothes on over their swimsuit if they aren't wearing a triathlon suit.
