Forget age groups—this race is all about bringing your own gravity.
The Fatboy 5K is a fun-first, judgment-free 5K happening May 17, 2026 at Lafreniere Park, where runners compete in weight classes instead of age brackets. Whether you’re fast, steady, or just here for the vibes, this race celebrates effort, humor, and showing up as you are.
After you cross the finish line, the real battle begins with our legendary Donut Eating Contest, 26.2 Foot Marathon and conquer the 0.0 Mile World Championship. —because balance is important, and carbs are undefeated. Expect big laughs, loud cheers, and a community that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Come race hard, jog happy, or waddle proudly.
The Fatboy 5K is proof that fitness can be fun—and donuts can be part of the plan. 🍩💪
