Caddo River Fest 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the Caddo River Fest 5K, set to take place on Saturday, September 5, 2026, in the charming town of Glenwood, Arkansas. This 5K race, kicking off at 8:00 AM CDT, promises a vibrant community atmosphere as part of the larger annual Caddo River Festival. The course itself is known for its "gentle rolling hills and quaint, quiet neighborhood streets", offering a "fun course, fairly hilly" experience that is suitable for both novice runners and those aiming for a new personal record. You can expect a well-organized event, with friendly volunteers from the Centerpoint School District on hand to guide and cheer you on throughout the route.

The race begins and ends near Glenwood City Hall, making for easy access to the heart of the community's festivities. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in early September, with highs around 89F and lows around 65F, and a modest 13% chance of precipitation. Beyond the 5K, the Caddo River Fest adds to the appeal, encouraging participants to "come for the run and stay for the fun". A free Kids Fun Run immediately follows the main event, and medals will be awarded to overall and age division winners.
