About the Happy Soles 5k Run/Walk/Bike & Virtual Challenge
This race runs through Heritage Park in Taylor, and the format is open enough that you can cover the route on foot or by bike, or log your miles virtually from wherever you are. The park setting keeps things green and open, and that flexibility makes it easy to participate however suits you best.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the Fish and Loaves Community Food Pantry on Northline Road, with a second option at the park on race morning. The event is tied directly to the food pantry's mission, and all proceeds go toward purchasing food for local households.

The Happy Soles 5k Run/Walk/Bike & Virtual Challenge has been held every year since at least 2018. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
