RACE DAY Sunday, October 25, lace up your sneakers, grab your costume (optional, but highly encouraged!), and join us for HCA’s Wicked 5K and Wee Wicked Dash—a fun fall tradition with a very important purpose.
​
Turn Your 5K Into Something Bigger
When you register, you have the opportunity to create your own fundraising page, set a personal goal, and invite friends, family and coworkers to support you.
​
​
​
Imagine the impact if every Wicked 5K participant raised just a little more beyond their registration fee. A participant who raises $100, $250 or $500 isn't simply completing a 5K—they're helping someone else have access to an arts experience they might otherwise have to miss.
Those who participate as a fundraiser and raise a minimum of $250 will be entered to win a "runners basket" which includes a set of Bose noise cancelling headphones. EVERYONE who reaches the $500 mark will receive a Wicked 5K windbreaker in addition to their race shirt. There are also prizes for the top fundraiser!
Better Together: Create a Wicked Team!
Create a team and make the 5K your own! Rally your family. Challenge your neighbors. Recruit your coworkers. Bring your pickleball crew off the court and onto the course. Gather your book club, dance friends, theater castmates, soccer parents—or simply assemble that group of friends who will agree to almost anything if costumes are involved. Give your team a ridiculous name. Coordinate costumes. Set a team fundraising goal. Challenge another team. There are prizes to be won—and bragging rights are priceless.

Family team. Neighborhood team. Office team. Pickleball team. “We Haven’t Run Since High School” team. We want them all!
And Yes...It's Going to Be FUN for ALL AGES!
The Wicked 5K features a relatively flat course combining traffic-free roads and groomed gravel trails, making it welcoming for runners and walkers of different ages and abilities. Cash prizes will be awarded to top finishers in various age brackets.
Our youngest goblins and ghouls can get in on the action, too, with the 100-meter Wee Wicked Dash just before the 5K.
​
NEW THIS YEAR.. Bring your (well behaved) DOG and enter the Dog Costume Contest! No charge. Just for fun.
Then stick around after you cross the finish line! We'll keep the celebration going with music, games, food and fun with costumed characters under our new event tent. Halloween spirit is welcome! We will have a costume parade for kids and prizes for best costume for all ages.
