Celebrate Waynesville Parks & Recreation with the Rec Jam 5k!
Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Waynesville Parks & Recreation with the Rec Jam 5k! This course starts and finishes at the Waynesville Recreation Center, and takes runners on a scenic tour of the greenway.
With just ~60ft of elevation gain, this is a flat, fast course for both the competitive runners and the family looking for a scenic morning of fun! A commemorative race shirt & chip timing are included in race registration.
Waynesville Parks and Recreation is more than just a department; it’s a cornerstone of community life, providing fun and healthy opportunities for everyone. Over the past 25 years, they have transformed this vision into reality, crafting a rich tapestry of activities and spaces that cater to everyone, regardless of age or ability. The Rec Jam 5k is a fundraiser for Waynesville Parks & Recreation.
Strollers are welcome! Please note that there are some packed dirt/gravel sections of the course. Friendly dogs on leashes are allowed on the course. We just ask that dogs & strollers start at the back of the pack.
The 5k course starts and finishes at the Waynesville Recreation Center. A majority of this course is on a greenway path, with some short sections on dirt paths. There will be an aid station with water at mile ~1.2.
All runners should stay on the right side of the road/greenway. Roads will not be closed during the race so please pay attention to vehicle traffic and Police Officers. The course will be marked with Kick It Events directional signage that will be white rectangles with black arrows.
