    Like, totally awesome news—last year marked the radical debut of the Silo Sprint 5K, a gnarly way to celebrate the epic resurrection of the Frank Liske Park Barn! Back in 2020, a devastating fire wiped out not just the barn but also a ton of unforgettable memories. This place was the spot, a true staple of the park. But through some major dedication and hard work, the barn made its totally tubular comeback in August 2023!

    Now, we’re cranking up the tunes and inviting you all to lace up those kicks for another boss-level race! Get ready to tackle a fun and challenging course as we step into a new era—without forgetting the awesome times of the past. All participants will score a custom race shirt, bib, and a rad goodie bag to commemorate the event. And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line—runners also get free mini golf, paddleboat access, and some chill 80s-style vibes after the race!

    After you crush the course, cool down with sno cones, playground fun, trails to explore, fishing spots, and plenty of space to just hang and enjoy the day. So grab your best neon gear, tease up that hair, and join us for an unforgettable throwback celebration! 🎉🎶🏃‍♂️💥

    PACKET PICKUP will be held on Friday, June 5, 2026 (Frank Liske Park office) 9:00 am - 4:00 pm and Saturday, June 6th (Barn) from 8:00 am - 9:00 am.
