About the WESD 5k Fun Run and Walk
The course runs on a university campus in Glendale, which keeps things paved and open. Age group awards go several places deep, so runners who are genuinely competing for a podium spot have something to race for, not just a finishing time.
A health fair runs alongside the event, and water and snacks are available on both sides of the start. Pets are not permitted on the premises, so plan accordingly if you were thinking of bringing one.
