Hop, SCIP, Jump, and Run 2025

Get ready for a heartwarming and energetic evening at the Hop, SCIP, Jump, and Run 2025, set to take place on June 5, 2026, in Lincoln, NE. This vibrant 1-mile Fun Run is more than just a race; it's a cherished community event held annually at Antelope Park, benefiting the vital School Community Intervention & Prevention (SCIP) program. Typically, race day conditions in early June offer warm highs around 84°F and pleasant lows near 61°F, with a modest 19% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal setting for an outdoor gathering.

The course itself winds "throughout the park", offering a flat and accessible path perfect for all ages and abilities, beginning and ending at the Antelope Park Enclosed Shelter. This event stands out for its strong community focus and family-friendly atmosphere. Beyond the exhilaration of the 1-mile dash, participants can explore numerous activity booths hosted by local agencies, offering engaging experiences and opportunities to win prizes. Previous years have featured music from a local radio station, a photo booth to capture memories, balloon artists, and even a mobile food truck, creating a festive environment for everyone.

What makes the Hop, SCIP, Jump, and Run truly unique is its mission. As the 12th annual installment of this fundraiser, all proceeds directly support SCIP's efforts to provide essential tools and resources for children, adolescents, and their families facing behavioral and emotional health challenges throughout Nebraska. The 1-Mile Fun Run is free with pre-registration, making it an inclusive event, and prizes are awarded to the top three finishers, adding a fun competitive element for younger runners. Join nearly 400 community members for an evening of health, wellness, and giving back at this truly special Lincoln race.
