5k Fun Run Run Walk

The Farmers 5000 is likely one of the very first school-based 5K fundraisers in the state of Colorado. Since 1981, serious racers and weekend warriors alike have been coming to Wheat Ridge High School to run the Farmers 5000! Starting and finishing in front of the school, this race winds through the surrounding neighborhoods making it a true community event. The Farmers 5000 continues to raise money to support school programs while promoting physical fitness and community spirit. All funds from entry fees are given to various educational and special programs within the school. The 5K run and walk, along with a Fun Run, are open to all!

    When: April 24, 2026 | Meet up: 5:30pm, Race: 6:30pm, Finals: 7:30pm, End:10pm

    Where: Little Machine

    Join us for the fourth round of Hot Laps sponsored by Runners Roost and Citius RC powered by On. The rules stay the same this year, but the course takes steps elsewhere. Teams of four race to complete as many laps as they can in 45 minutes. The top five teams with the most laps progress to a final round where the fastest laps win.

    Relay teams are mixed gendered and created by racers before they sign up. Each team must have at least one member of the opposite gender (2 girls/2 guys, 3 girls/1 guy, etc.) Teams can pick up race packets the week before at Runners Roost | 1685 S Colorado Blvd J, Denver, CO 80222. Or come early to check-in before 5:50pm on April 24th.

    Hot Laps takes inspiration from the motor racing world where cars compete on fixed courses to complete as many laps in a set time.

    Similar to the world of car racing, Hot Laps require teamwork. Mixed gendered teams will compete on an unsanctioned course where each member has to exchange in a predetermined zone. At the 45 minute mark, teams will total their laps and the teams with the most laps will advance to the final round.
