About the Event

Cherry Pickin’ 5K Wave Race

At Leona Valley Elementary

Saturday, May 23, 2026

The 5K WAVE RACE! This is a handicapped race based on Age-Graded tables.
If you are a good runner for your age or gender, you could WIN this race! Your start time will depend on your age and gender per the table found in the link below.
Custom medals will be given to the top 150 overall finishers – not based on age divisions. There are no age group divisions since the start of the race is handicapped by age and gender.
Up and Down 5k Course - Uphill first half, super fun downhill coming back!
All entries get a t-shirt – while supplies last.

There will also be a "Family Fun Run Wave." If you would like to just come out and run, jog or walk and not worry about time or placing you may opt for the Family Fun Run Wave, starting at 8:00 am. You will not be timed and you will not earn a finish placing.

This event is a fundraiser for the West Antelope Valley Education Foundation - WAVE. They provide funding for extracurricular opportunities such as field trips, clubs, sports, etc for the students of the Westside Union School District.
