About the Event

Looking forward to seeing you on Labor Day!

As part of the West Jefferson annual Ox Roast, we are again holding the community 5K, 2 Mile and a 1 Mile Run/walk. All three runs will start and finish at the West Jefferson High School. The course is flat and fast, using paved roads and participants will run by Garrette Park where the Ox Roast is held. T-shirts will be provided for each registrant. 

Proceeds of the race will support the community and the work of the West Jefferson Youth Athletic Association (WJYAA).The mission of the WJYAA is to teach boys and girls in a fun and competitive atmosphere that encourages skill development, sportsmanship, camaraderie and learning how to win and lose with the team. The goals include developing a passion for sports and to “...compete, learn something about themselves and grow as athletes and people. Learn the skills of each sport and fundamentals. Have fun!”

Thank you for your support of the WJYAA!

Reduced entry fees for children ages 8 and under ($8.00) and students 9-17 ($20.00)
