2025 Wonder Run 5K & Kids Fun Run—Save the Date: Sunday, May 18th, 2025!

Sponsored content—Join us for the 11th annual Wonder Run 5K and Kids Fun Run, taking place as part of Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend! REGISTER HERE.

Hosted by the Wellesley Hills Junior Women’s Club (WHJWC), this family-friendly event promises a day of fitness, fun, and community spirit.  The Wonder Run 5K is a USATF-certified course, offering a scenic route through Wellesley, starting and finishing at the Wellesley High School track. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering, everyone is welcome to join in the excitement.

The 5k starts at 8am, and this year we hope you’ll join us early as our Headline Sponsor, Heroes Fitness, will be leading a pre-race boot camp to help the runners warm up!

The Kids Fun Run, starting at 9am, offers two options: a 1-lap run for ages 6 and under and a 2-lap run for kids aged 7-10.  For those who want to take on the 5K, kids are also welcome to register for the main event. Sensei Nicco DeMasco of SDSS Martial Art of Wellesley will also be there to lead fun, kid-friendly activities before the race.

Proceeds from this event benefit local community groups, scholarships for deserving Wellesley students, and grants for education and enrichment programs around Wellesley. Early online registration is available, with Wonder Run hats for the first 150 sign-ups.  Don’t miss out—register early—start training, and be part of a great cause!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 18th, 2025, and join us for a day of running, fun, and giving back to the community!
