In 2026 WWE RUN WITH THE WOLVES is going SUPERHERO MODE, so cape up and race on! All 5k and 1k participants will receive a WWE Run With The Wolves superhero logo t-shirt as part of registration. Every dollar raised will be granted back to the school by the PTSA. This year, your participation will help provide shade structures for the playground, keeping our super-students cool, comfortable, and ready for action! Be a real hero and help make 2026 the most super race to date!

EVERY HERO DESERVES A VICTORY CELEBRATION! Bring your bib to FREEDOM STREET SOCIAL after the race where young heroes will have earned a free small treat from Jeremiah's and adult superheroes get their choice of a free house wine or 16 oz beer.

The top female and male finishers in kindergarten through 5th grade WILL RECEIVE THEIR MEDALS AND AWARDS DURING THE SCHOOL WEEK following the race. Medals and awards for the top middle school, high school, and adult finishers will be distributed at the post-race award ceremony.

Due to current water restrictions, the Arvada Fire Department's famous post-race spray down may not be possible this year. But don't worry, our hometown heroes still plan to join us with one of their fire trucks, and the POST-RACE BUBBLE CANNON will be back by popular demand!

Packet pick up will be outside the West Woods Elementary School main entrance on Thursday, Sept. 24 and Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 from 3-4pm.
