Three 5K events can be found in Tulsa on Saturday.

Luchador Run
Elote Café, downtown YMCA and RunnersWorld present the Elote Luchador Run.
The run will start at the downtown YMCA, 420 S. Main St., and finish at Elote Café, located at Fifth Street and Boston Avenue. The fun run begins at 3 p.m., and the 5K begins at 3:45 p.m.
The course will run through several downtown landmarks, including the Blue Dome District, Drillers Stadium, Center of the Universe and Centennial Park.
Live music and an outdoor nachos-and-cerveza bar will be available after the run.
Proceeds from the run benefit the YMCA’s Kids to Camp program.
Registration is $30, or $25 for those who wear a luchador mask. Register in person the day of the race.

Wish Lemons Run
This race, presented by the Youth and Family Center, will start and end at the Center, located at 11th and Main streets. The fun run (and dog walk) begins at 8:30 a.m. and the 5K begins at 9 a.m.
Race-day registration begins at 7:30 a.m., and the cost is $25 for the fun run/dog walk and $30 for the 5K (Save $5 on the 5K if you register online before 6 p.m. today.)
This year, proceeds from the run will be given back to the community through the Youth and Family Center's ministry.
Enjoy refreshments, massages, inflatables for the kids and an awards ceremony after the 5K.

By Your Side Run
Parkside Psychiatric Hospital and Clinic presents the By Your Side Run. The 5K starts at 9 a.m. and the fun run at 9:05 a.m., at Mohawk Park, 5701 E. 36th St. N.
Registration is $20, and begins at 8 a.m.
The event is an annual fundraiser benefiting the organization’s patient assistance program, known as the By Your Side Services. The program offers Parkside’s clients and their families food, clothing, medication and transportation assistance.
This is a stroller-friendly event, so organizers encourage you to bring the whole family.
Live music, pet therapy animals, massage therapy, custom cars and inflatables for the kids will be at the park after the run. One participant will win two tickets to this year’s Indianapolis 500 at a drawing held before the run.
