Overbrook Community 5k & 1 Mile

Kick off your Independence Day celebrations with the Overbrook Community 5k & 1 Mile, taking place on Saturday, July 4, 2026, in scenic Overbrook, Kansas. This beloved community event offers both a 3.1-mile (5K) run and walk, and a 1-mile walk, making it perfect for runners and families alike. The race begins bright and early at 8:00 AM CDT at Overbrook Lake, with parking conveniently located at the Overbrook baseball diamonds. Participants can expect a refreshing start to their holiday, immersing themselves in the local community spirit.

This year's Overbrook Community 5k & 1 Mile holds special significance, as it is dedicated to honoring the memory of Ian Trego, a cherished member of the community. All proceeds from the event will support his wife and children, as well as the Community Christian School in Overbrook. Runners will enjoy the beautiful scenery around Overbrook Lake, with medals and prizes awarded to the top three male and female finishers in the 5K. All finishers will also receive after-race snacks. Typical race day conditions in early July can see highs around 91°F and lows around 68°F, with a modest 14% chance of precipitation. Plan for an exhilarating morning and join this uplifting celebration of fitness, community, and remembrance.
