Diva Dash 5K/10K & Lil' Princess Fun Run

Embrace your inner diva and join a vibrant community of women and girls for the annual Diva Dash 5K/10K & Lil' Princess Fun Run on Sunday, July 26, 2026, in Overland Park, KS. This spirited event, held at the scenic Corporate Woods, promises a fun-filled morning for all ages and paces. Kicking off at 7:30 AM CDT for the 5K and 10K, runners will navigate a road course that often includes a shaded trail portion with gentle inclines, offering a pleasant change of scenery and opportunities for a quick burst of speed through a short tunnel. While past participants have noted the need to stay hydrated on typically warm July days, with highs around 88°F and lows around 69°F, and a 12% chance of precipitation, the supportive atmosphere and cheering crowds make for a memorable experience.

The Diva Dash is more than just a race; it's a celebration of fitness and camaraderie, well-known for its positive environment where many participants don tutus and glitter for an extra touch of flair. Finishers of the 5K and 10K are rewarded with a custom bib and a large, commemorative medal, with the option to purchase a race shirt. Younger participants can experience the joy of crossing the finish line in the Lil' Princess Fun Run, starting around 8:30 AM CDT, which offers distances of 50-200 yards for girls aged 8 and under (some sources say 10 and under). Each little princess receives a shirt, custom bib, a tiara, and a special medal to mark her achievement.

Beyond the personal triumphs, this event also serves a greater purpose, raising money for Infant Loss Resources. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at Corporate Woods, a popular spot for local races, making it easily accessible for participants and spectators alike. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the 10K, enjoying a leisurely 5K, or cheering on a future runner, the Diva Dash offers a unique blend of challenge, community, and sparkle.
