ALBUQUERQUE ROAD RUNNERS CLUB invites you to our fun and friendly 5K! Over the past 36 years, WDF has featured some of the fastest runners in New Mexico as well as many first-time 5K runners and walkers. It's a race only for the Ladies! All finishers receive special goodies.

The Annual WDF takes place at the UNM North Golf Course, with parking at the UNM School of Law at 117 Stanford Drive NE in Albuquerque. The race route is out-and-back along the perimeter of the golf course, with a dip down onto a dirt road heading south. Turnaround is at Tucker.
