About the ShockWave 5K
The ShockWave 5K is put on by Shock Fitness Studio with backing from several city districts, so the race has a civic weight to it. Local businesses and community leaders show up alongside runners, and the overall feel is more of a neighborhood wellness day than a pure racing event.
