Cave City Easter Run

Lace up your running shoes for the Cave City Easter Run on Saturday, April 4, 2026, a rewarding race event taking place in the scenic surroundings of Cave City, AR. Starting and finishing at Cave City Park, this event offers distances for every runner, including a challenging Half Marathon (13.1M) and a spirited 10K.

The course promises an exhilarating experience, beginning with an initial three-quarters of a mile on pavement before transitioning to a "roller coaster of scenic gravel roads" featuring "difficult and challenging" rolling hills. While the 10K follows an out-and-back route, the Half Marathon takes runners on a "lollipop" style out and back, ensuring varied scenery and terrain. Aid stations will be conveniently located along the course to support runners through the inclines. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 68F and lows near 42F, with only a 17% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the personal challenge, the Cave City Easter Run is a community-focused event with a history of giving back. Proceeds from the race directly benefit the Cave City Police Department and the Cave City Volunteer Fire Department, having contributed $18,000 over the past four years. Participants can look forward to unique finisher awards, with special recognition for the top three male and female finishers in each race category, and post-race snacks to refuel. This race offers not just a physical test, but also an opportunity to support local heroes in a vibrant, community atmosphere.
