Longest Day 5k Run/Walk Fundraiser

Lace up for a cause at the Longest Day 5k Run/Walk Fundraiser on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in the charming town of Piedmont, MO. This inspiring event offers participants the choice of a 5K run/walk or a 1-mile Color Run, making it perfect for athletes of all ages and abilities looking to make a difference. The race kicks off at 7:30 AM along the picturesque River Road Park Hike & Bike Trail, offering a beautiful and scenic route that runners and walkers alike will enjoy.
