Run for a Wish 10k Fun Run

Run for a Wish 10k 5k 1 mile fun run takes place in Ruston, Louisiana, beginning near Trinity United Methodist Church at 1000 Woodward Avenue. The event offers three distances for runners and walkers: 10k, 5k, and a 1-mile fun run. The course is partly paved and partly jeep-trail, an out-and-back loop that passes water stations twice; a bathroom is available at Cook Park on the 10k route.

Strollers and dogs on leashes are welcome. Proceeds benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, with 100% of funds directed to the charity. Packet pickup and race-day registration are available; awards cover overall and age-group categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
