On the Greenway: The Discover the Greenway 5K+

Lace-up your shoes and get ready for the much-anticipated Discover the Greenway 5K+, which promises to bring together nature enthusiasts, fitness fans, and community supporters to celebrate the great outdoors. The Discover the Greenway 5K+, proudly presented by Jim Keras Subaru, aims to promote environmental awareness, healthy living, and community engagement.

The event will occur on Saturday, June 8th, at the scenic Shady Grove Trailhead on the Wolf River Greenway. This beautiful trail offers participants a chance to experience the lush landscapes, diverse wildlife, and serene river views that make this area a local treasure. Unlike a traditional 5K, this event's "5K+" aspect adds a little extra distance, making it a unique challenge for runners and walkers alike. The course accommodates all fitness levels, ensuring that everyone, from seasoned runners to casual walkers, can participate and enjoy the event. Funds from this event will directly support the Conservancy’s conservation projects, educational programs, and maintenance of the Wolf River Greenway.  

Jim Keras Subaru’s involvement as the presenting sponsor underscores the company’s commitment to community service and environmental sustainability. Subaru’s corporate philosophy emphasizes giving back to the community and supporting initiatives that align with its values, particularly those related to the environment and outdoor activities.

Thank you to our additional event sponsors: Crews Development, Ring Container Technologies, Terminix, Orvis, USI, Shoemaker Financial, Campbell Clinic and Lansky Law Firm and Grivet Outdoors.  

Whether you are an avid runner, a nature lover, or someone who wants to support a worthy cause, Discover the Greenway 5K+ offers something for everyone.  Enjoy the post-race celebration with food from El Mero food truck, beers from Grind City Brewery and treats from Mempops! Join us on June 8th for a fitness, fun, and environmental stewardship day. We'll see you on the Greenway!
