About the 18th Annual Butterfly Run 5K
The race runs through Waynesboro City Park on a USATF-certified course, with a shorter fun run option alongside the main distance. The park setting keeps things shaded and manageable, and the event is built around the Butterfly Foundation, which raises money for local families with critically ill children. The course is certified, so it runs honest.
Packet pickup opens early on race morning at the park pavilion, giving you time to settle in before the start. Race-day registration is available up to about half an hour before the gun, but the organizers advise arriving well before that to avoid the line. Awards go out before mid-morning, so the whole event wraps up quickly.
