Join the Little Rock running and walking community for the 13th Annual Omega Prostate Cancer Awareness 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, September 12, 2026. This inspiring 5K event takes participants through scenic Murray Park and across the iconic Big Dam Bridge in Little Rock, Arkansas, offering a memorable experience for all fitness levels. The course, likely a flat and fast route along the paved path, provides picturesque views over the Arkansas River.

More than just a race, this annual event is a powerful initiative to raise crucial funds and awareness for prostate and colon cancer. All proceeds are dedicated to supporting the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and local high school scholarships, making every step count towards a vital cause. Established in 2013 by the Omegas of Greater Little Rock in partnership with the Arkansas Prostate Cancer Foundation, the event has consistently grown, with over 267 participants last year raising significant funds for these important beneficiaries. Typical race day conditions in mid-September feature pleasant highs around 87°F and lows around 66°F, with a low 11% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable atmosphere for participants.

The 13th Annual Omega Prostate Cancer Awareness 5K Run/Walk is an exceptional opportunity to combine fitness with philanthropy, supporting cancer research, patient support, and educational opportunities for students. Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or a walker enjoying a community outing, this 5K promises a rewarding experience. The race officially kicks off at 8:00 AM CDT.
