Carbs for Kids 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the Carbs for Kids 5K and 10 Mile, a heartwarming and energetic event set to take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Sioux Falls, SD. Starting and finishing at Cherry Rock Park, both the 5K and 10-mile courses offer a flat and fast out-and-back experience along a scenic bike path, providing an ideal setting for personal bests or a joyful run/walk. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 58F and lows near 35F, with a modest 12% chance of precipitation, promising crisp spring air perfect for hitting the pavement.

More than just a race, the Carbs for Kids event is a celebrated annual fundraiser organized by the South Sioux Falls Kiwanis Club, dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of local children and youth. All proceeds from your participation and the accompanying free-will donation bake sale remain right in the community, benefiting numerous local non-profits focused on crucial causes like fighting hunger and improving literacy. While aid station specifics aren't detailed, water is typically available on the trail for races of this nature.

Runners frequently praise the family-friendly atmosphere and the unique blend of fitness with delectable baked goods available at the post-race bake sale. Embracing a commitment to maximize funds for kids, this event foregoes traditional swag like t-shirts, instead focusing every dollar on its charitable mission. Join a community of passionate individuals and experience a fulfilling race where every stride and every sweet treat helps build a brighter future for the children of Sioux Falls.
