'Mindful' Raleigh 5K combines meditation, yoga and shopping

Yoga, meditation and a 5K will combine in April for the first time at Dix Park during Wanderlust 108.

Marketed as the "world's only mindful triathlon," the April 21 event consists of a five-kilometer run (or walk) through Dix Park, a music-fueled, outdoor yoga class and a guided meditation. There will also be music from DJ Sol Rising, a marketplace of local craft and food vendors and bonus fitness classes throughout the day.

Tickets start at $30 with premium packages priced between $99-$150.

Depending on which ticket is purchased, Wanderlust participants can enjoy aerial yoga, hooping, AcroYoga and Thai Massage classes, which is deep-tissue, self-massage techniques which can assist in releasing pain, opening locked muscles and facilitating proper posture. Jewelry, clothing and crafts will be available for purchase, along with a Wanderbowl—a hearty, Mexican inspired vegetarian (or vegan) meal of rice, beans, cheese, avocado and mango-lime-cilantro salsa.
