About this race

2K Walk or 5K Run/Walk

Grab your winter coat, hat, mittens and warm socks and get ready to experience one of Fort Wayne's favorite holiday traditions! Every year, Blue Jacket, Inc. sets up beautiful holiday light displays throughout Franke Park for folks to drive through and enjoy. Fort4Fitness participants have special access to walk or run through the lights before the Blue Jacket drive-through event opens to the public! Gather a group of loved ones and create unforgettable, fun holiday memories as you take in the 200+ brilliant light displays.

Friday's 2K is an untimed event and has an open start from 6 PM - 7 PM. Saturday's 5K is timed and features a more competitive wave that begins at 5:45 PM and a run/walk wave that begins at 6:15 PM.

Virtual 2K/5K

Virtual participants can complete their 2K or 5K at any time and place.
Since virtual participants are not timed, you will not receive a race bib.
You will receive your t-shirt and commemorative Winter Wonder Dash ornament, either by picking it up during regular Packet Pick-Up times, or by having it mailed to you (you would have chosen this option on your original registration). Mailings will go out the week of November 18th.
We do not require you to send in proof of completion.
