The Farmers 5000 High School Student and Staff 5K is an annual event designed for the student and staff community of local high schools. This year's race takes place on September 15, 2024, in Wheat Ridge, Colorado (80033). Participants can anticipate a fun and energetic atmosphere focused on fostering community and healthy activity.
