Camp Mack Wilderness Area 5K Run/Walk
Join us in the wilderness area for this fun and unique 5K. Instead of running on the road (besides a short section to get into the wilderness area), this 5K takes place on the trails of the wilderness area and Camp Mack. During the race, we will see some cool stuff along the way: the challenge course, archery range (don’t worry, no one will be shooting), 5 points, the big field, grandfather oak, the prairie, and end with two laps around the auditorium.
On-site registration starts at 8 a.m.; the race will start at 9 a.m.
This event will be chip timed.
Breakfast starts at 9:30 a.m., ends at 11 a.m.
Awards will be at 10:30 a.m.
Online registration for the 5K opens Jan. 29, 2027. Registration cost is $35 and includes a shirt and one (1) entry to the cinnamon toast breakfast. Additional entries to the breakfast can be purchased separately.
After we are done running, you can join us in the dining hall for our famous cinnamon toast breakfast (included in your registration). Showers are also available at camp.
Cinnamon Toast Breakfast
Cinnamon toast has been a staple of Camp Mack for the longest time. Almost every guest will get cinnamon toast at some point during their stay at Camp Mack. After the 5K, we will have breakfast waiting for you. Not just cinnamon toast, but lots of other things as well! Besides delicious, this is also a great fundraiser for Camp Mack.
Time: 9:30–11 a.m.
Adult: $10
