Lace up your running shoes for the annual Mule Kick 5K and 1-Mile Trot, set to take place on April 11, 2026, in the charming city of Columbia, TN. This beloved community event offers both a 3.1-mile 5K challenge and a shorter 1-Mile Trot, making it perfect for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The race kicks off and concludes at the scenic Riverwalk Park, located at 102 Riverside Drive, promising a picturesque start and finish to your race day. Typical race day conditions for this time of year feature pleasant highs around 71°F and lows around 43°F, with only a 19% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable run.

More than just a race, the Mule Kick is a long-standing tradition with a powerful mission, hosted by the Maury Regional Health Care Foundation. Your participation directly supports the Foundation's commitment to a healthier Maury County. Proceeds from the event provide crucial operational support for Maury Regional Health's mobile unit, which delivers vital healthcare services to at-risk patients in rural and underserved areas. A portion of the funds also benefits the Foundation's Wellness and Aquatics Center Healthy Living Endowment and the Columbia Parks & Recreation Department, fostering community well-being.

The Mule Kick further strengthens local ties by donating to the physical education program of the Maury County school with the highest participation. This commitment to community health and engagement, combined with an inviting atmosphere at Riverwalk Park, ensures a rewarding experience whether you're chasing a personal best in the 5K or enjoying a leisurely stroll in the 1-Mile Trot.
