About This Race
The Wild Bill 5k is an annual race held in memory and honor of William "Wild Bill" Sonner, a beloved Raleigh coach, mentor, and community leader who was an All-American swimmer at NC State. Held at Seven Oaks Swim & Racquet Club, this USATF-certified course features rolling hills through West Raleigh neighborhoods. The race supports charitable causes including Ronald McDonald House Charities and The Helene Foundation. Participants enjoy a post-race celebration with breakfast, pool access, DJ entertainment, and a fun dunk tank with proceeds benefiting charity.
