JW Tiger 5K

The 32nd Annual JW Tiger 5K is a community running event held in Meriden, Kansas, serving as a fundraiser for the local Cross Country team. Participants can join either in person or virtually, allowing runners to complete the 5K distance in Meriden or their own town. The event celebrates the achievement of finishing a 5K while supporting the team’s needs for food, snacks, drinks, and equipment.

Awards include medals for the top three finishers in each age group and special pottery prizes for the top three male and female runners, crafted by a retired art teacher. The race fosters a supportive and spirited atmosphere for runners of all levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
