A Walk in the Park for Pediatric Cancer

Lace up your shoes for a heartwarming morning at "A Walk in the Park for Pediatric Cancer," taking place on Sunday, July 19, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska. This inspiring 5K event is more than just a walk; it's a vital fundraiser with all proceeds dedicated to supporting the Children's Nebraska Pediatric Oncology Department. Participants will enjoy a scenic journey around the beautiful 1/3 mile oval at Turner Park, offering a relatively flat and accessible course perfect for families and individuals alike.

What truly sets this event apart is its unique blend of community spirit and celebration. The walk is proudly part of a free family Ice Cream Day, honoring Omaha's own Butter Brickle Ice Cream, which has roots dating back to the 1920s. After completing your distance, you'll be greeted with free ice cream, engaging kids' entertainment, and outdoor games, creating a festive atmosphere for all ages. A special kids' walk for children aged 1 to 15 also ensures that even the youngest participants can contribute to this meaningful cause.

Typical race day conditions in mid-July in Omaha bring highs around 89°F and lows around 69°F, with an approximately 11% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but potentially pleasant summer morning. Join fellow compassionate individuals at Turner Park at 9 AM for a memorable experience that makes a tangible difference in the lives of children battling cancer.
