Lace up your running shoes for the 32nd Annual Easter Sun Run, a cherished community tradition taking place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas. Offering both a challenging 10K race and a fun 2-mile run/walk, this premier Midwest event caters to all ages and fitness levels. The certified course, set within the picturesque Sedgwick County Park (best accessed from 13th Street), is known for being generally flat, providing an enjoyable experience for those aiming for a personal best or a leisurely stroll through scenic surroundings. Runners can expect typical race day conditions in early April, with comfortable highs around 68°F and lows around 43°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

Beyond the thrill of competition and the chance to earn cash awards for top finishers across various age categories, participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt and a finisher's medal. The Easter Sun Run is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and exceptional hospitality, a reputation built over decades. What truly sets this event apart is its dedication to a vital cause: it serves as a major fundraiser for Youth Horizons, a non-profit transforming the lives of local youth through mentoring and advocacy programs.

The excitement extends beyond the finish line with a vibrant Easter Family Fun Zone, ensuring a memorable day for everyone. Attendees can enjoy an Easter egg hunt, inflatables, yard games, and a complimentary BBQ lunch with hamburgers, hot dogs, and baked beans. Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or looking for a purposeful family outing, the Easter Sun Run at Sedgwick County Park promises a day filled with fun, community spirit, and meaningful impact.
