About the Race
The Ben Layton 5K is organized to help raise money for Ben's Red Swings and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a blood cancer that Ben had. The 5k and fun walk start outside Ben's Red Swings, go through the zoo and end at Ben's Red Swings. We are also continuing to offer a virtual option 5k this year for people who are not able to join us in person. Custom designed socks are guaranteed to the first 150 entrants. Raffle prizes will be awarded on race day. The race will be held rain or shine!

Common questions
How hard is the 21st Annual Ben Layton 5K Run/Walk 5K?
We don't have a verified elevation profile yet — check the organizer's course map for the climb breakdown.
What should I wear?
Dress for ~10°F warmer than the standing temperature once you start running. Throwaway long-sleeve at the start, gloves and a hat for sub-50°F mornings, singlet plus visor when it climbs above 60°F. The race-day forecast above is the source of truth closer to the date.
When does it sell out?
No published deadline. Most races raise the entry fee in tiers and can sell out without warning — sign up early if you're committed.
