Wheat Ridge High School has relied on income from the Farmers 5000 since the very first race in 1981, 39 years ago. The net proceeds are given to various educational and special programs within the school. This year, due to health and safety concerns, the race is completely virtual. You run a 5k (or 3.1 miles) on your own at the time, day and location of your choosing between September 1 and September 20. This could be on deserted streets at night, a little known trail route or even on your treadmill. Everyone who registers gets the official race t-shirt and a downloadable race bib. We're even going to have virtual random prize drawings.
Online registration is now closed. We can't wait to see you in 2021 at the 40th Annual Farmers 5000!
