Cave City Easter Run 5k, 10k & 1/2 Marathon

Lace up your running shoes for the challenging and scenic Cave City Easter Run, taking place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in picturesque Cave City, Arkansas. This community-focused event offers distances for every runner, including a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K (6M), and 5K (3M), all commencing from Cave City Park. Runners can expect a dynamic course that begins with a brief 3/4 mile stretch of pavement before transitioning into a "roller coaster" of scenic gravel roads, renowned for their difficult and challenging rolling hills. Aid stations will be strategically placed along the route to support participants through this demanding and rewarding experience, with chip timing ensuring accurate results for all.

The Cave City Easter Run is more than just a race; it's a vital fundraiser with a proud history of giving back. Over the past four years, the event has successfully donated $18,000 to the Cave City Police Department and the Cave City Volunteer Fire Department, directly benefiting local emergency services. Participants will be rewarded for their efforts with unique finisher awards, and the top three male and female finishers in each race category will also receive special recognition.

Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 68F and lows around 42F, with a minimal 17% chance of precipitation, offering pleasant weather for tackling the course. After crossing the finish line at Cave City Park, runners can refuel with provided post-race snacks, celebrating their achievement and contributing to a great cause.
