Get Busy Livin' 5k

Lace up for the Get Busy Livin' 5k on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Pittsburg, Kansas, a vibrant event that transcends a typical race to honor the life and spirit of Dylan Meier. This inspiring scholarship fundraiser encourages participants to embrace adventure, fitness, curiosity, generosity, and a daily zest for life. Runners and walkers can choose between a 5K race or a 1 Mile Friendship Walk, with a special Kids Fun Run also available, making it a perfect outing for the entire family.

The event kicks off and concludes at the scenic Hutchinson Field, located next to Pittsburg Middle School, serving as the central hub for all the race day excitement and community spirit. Participants can look forward to receiving a commemorative t-shirt and enjoying fruit and refreshments at the finish line. Typical race day conditions in early May often bring comfortable temperatures, with highs around 71°F and lows around 50°F, though there's historically about a 23% chance of precipitation.

The Get Busy Livin' 5k is more than just a physical challenge; it's a meaningful gathering that embodies the Dylan Meier Get Busy Livin' Foundation's mission to support individuals and groups in living life to the fullest. Join fellow community members and fitness enthusiasts for a day of inspiration, camaraderie, and active fun, all while contributing to a cause that champions a vibrant approach to life.
