The Maple Valley–Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the inaugural Wacky Dash & Business Bash, a one-of-a-kind community event that combines a fun-filled 5K with a lively business expo on Saturday, August 1 at Lake Wilderness Park.
Designed for all ages and fitness levels, the Wacky Dash invites participants to run, walk, laugh, and show off their creativity by wearing their wackiest costumes. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a stroll with family and friends, the event promises a morning filled with energy, smiles, and community spirit.
Attendees can explore the Business Bash, where Chamber member businesses will showcase their products and services through interactive booths, giveaways and family-friendly activities. The event offers a unique opportunity for local businesses to connect directly with residents in a relaxed, engaging environment. Service providers, professional offices, nonprofit organizations, and other local businesses are encouraged to join the celebration and introduce themselves to the community.
“We’re thrilled to bring a fresh, fun event to the Maple Valley and Black Diamond communities that encourages people to get outside, support local businesses, and spend time together,” said Alyssa Saas, executive director of the Maple Valley–Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce. “This is more than a race—it’s a celebration of the people and businesses that make our community such a great place to live.”
The Chamber extends its sincere appreciation to physical therapy for everyBODY, the event’s Premier Sponsor, for helping bring this exciting new community tradition to life. The Chamber also thanks Lustre Infrared Sauna Studio, Allcare Medical Clinic, Sumo Sushi, British Swim School, Thrive Community Fitness, The Learning Experience and BadaBoom Detailing.
