Create Healthy Wellness Center to Host 32nd Annual Wildflower Run + Walk
Beloved community tradition supports healthier living across the Hill Country and local youth programs
April 13, 2026 (Fredericksburg) – The Create Healthy Wellness Center invites the community to lace up and take part in the 32nd Annual Wildflower Run + Walk on Saturday, April 25, a longtime Hill Country tradition bringing together runners, walkers, families, and local supporters.
Held each spring in the heart of historic Fredericksburg, the Wildflower Run + Walk features a 5K, 10K, and Kids Dash, offering something for participants of all ages and experience levels. The event begins and ends at Marktplatz in downtown Fredericksburg, where parking and restrooms are available.
Proceeds from the Wildflower Run + Walk support the mission of the Create Healthy Wellness Center to build a healthier Hill Country while also strengthening local youth programs.
“The Wildflower Run + Walk is one of our favorite community traditions because it brings people together around health, movement, and connection, and every registration helps support our wellness work that continues long after race day,” said Jayne Pope, RN, MBA, FACHE, president and CEO of Create Healthy.”
Participants who pre-register will receive a race T-shirt, and every participant will earn a custom finisher medal. Age-division awards will also recognize top performances across race categories.
“The Wildflower Run + Walk is such a special day for our community because it welcomes everyone,” said Dawn Bourgeois, Director of the Create Healthy Wellness Center. “Whether you are running, walking, cheering on a child in the Kids Dash, or simply showing up to be part of it, you are helping support healthier lives in the Hill Country. It is a fun, meaningful tradition that continues to bring people together year after year.”
Race day registration will be available until 8 a.m. on April 25. Community members can learn more, view the course map, and register online at CreateHealthy.org/Wildflower-Run
