Lace up your running shoes and get ready for a springtime celebration at the Easter Egg 5K/10K, hitting the scenic streets of Overland Park, Kansas, on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This festive event offers distances for everyone, with a challenging 10K, a popular 5K run/walk, and a delightful Lil' Bunny Fun Run for the younger participants. Expect typical race day conditions with comfortable highs around 63F and lows near 42F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather to enjoy the beautiful course. A portion of the proceeds from this family-friendly event will benefit Cornerstones of Care, adding a charitable dimension to your race day experience.
Starting and finishing at the Southcreek Office Park at 7200 W 132nd St, the course promises a picturesque journey through Overland Park. The 5K route, for instance, guides runners north on Metcalf, west on 123rd, and south on Foster, with cones in place to enhance visibility and ensure a smooth run. All 5K and 10K participants will be rewarded for their efforts with unique finisher medals, and the post-race celebration includes food and drink to refuel after crossing the finish line.
What truly sets the Easter Egg 5K/10K apart is its festive atmosphere, complete with a visit from the Easter Bunny. The Lil' Bunny Fun Run for kids is a highlight, offering young runners their own custom race shirt, a finisher's medal, and the exciting opportunity to participate in an Easter Egg hunt after their race. This event beautifully blends the joy of Easter festivities with the thrill of running, creating lasting memories for the whole family.
