Nomadic 5K Annual Run Summary
2024 Annual 5K Trail Running Top Performers
The 9th Annual 5K Trail Run hosted by the Nomadic Adventure Club was an exceptional day filled with community spirit, culture, and joy. With over 170 runners participating from Ultrasignup.com and walk-in registrations, this year’s event marked the largest turnout in the event's nine-year history. The use of bibs for the first time added a new layer of excitement, enhancing the professional feel of the race.
The event featured generous rewards, with REI sponsoring gift cards for the top three finishers in both the men's and women's divisions. The most distinguished prize was the first-ever Nomadic Ultra Ticket, awarded to first-place finisher Battogtokh Sukhee. This club-sponsored registration provides an entry to the Save Mt. Diablo 50K by Brazen Racing, offering Sukhee the opportunity to compete in a more challenging race.
The successful turnout, enhanced race-day elements, and new incentives made this year's trail run an inspiring and memorable experience for all involved.
The post-race festivities were vibrant, starting with a captivating performance by Mongolian dancers showcasing traditional dance. The highlight of the celebration was the hot stone barbecue of a whole lamb, known as "Khorkhog," a cherished Mongolian dish. This meal, accompanied by a variety of side dishes prepared by the talented Nomadic ladies, delighted all attendees. A special thanks goes to the Nomadic men for cooking two whole lambs, ensuring everyone was well-fed. The event provided an incredible spread of food, drinks, and snacks, all free for participants and guests.
The day continued with lively activities, including a volleyball tournament, where winners received REI gift cards. Music, traditional games, and cultural performances added to the day's vibrant atmosphere, making it a memorable experience for families, friends, and new runners alike.
The Nomadic Adventure Club extends its heartfelt gratitude to all participants, volunteers, and donors who made this event possible. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for future events, filled with more adventure, community, and celebration.
We welcome all of you to our 9th Annual 5K Trail Running.
