About the Run/Walk for WeSPARK 5K/10K & Kids FUN RUN
The course runs around Lake Balboa in Woodley Park, so you get water views for most of the route. The terrain is flat throughout, and the path is wide enough that dogs on leash and strollers fit comfortably. There is also a short kids dash in the park. A vendor expo, live DJ, and performances are set up around the finish area.
Packet pickup opens the morning of the race at Woodley Park. Parking is available in the lot right at the start, and when that fills, organizers direct you across the street to a second lot on Woodley Ave.

The Run/Walk for WeSPARK 5K/10K & Kids FUN RUN has been held every year since at least 2022. 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.
