About the race

Inaugural Wolfpack 5K: The Great Turkey Chase.

The race will start and finish on Prairie Ridge property, entering the adjacent Squaw Creek neighborhood for a time. The course will not be certified for this inaugural race, but chip timing with bibs will be provided by It'sRaceTime, Inc. for accurate results.

This is a family-friendly event for walkers and runners of all levels, but please no pets as this event takes place primarily on school property.

All registrants will receive a finisher medal, custom made by one of Prairie Ridge's very own students.

Prairie Ridge High School's Booster Club is sponsoring this inaugural 5K to support its General Fund for Spring allocations that benefit sports, clubs and activity groups at PR.
