Lace up your running shoes and join the patriotic celebration at the Red White and Blue 5K, set for June 27, 2026, in scenic Mountain Home, AR. This popular 5K race, presented by the Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce, is a cherished part of the larger Red White & Blue Festival, promising a vibrant community atmosphere and a memorable start to a day of festivities. Participants will embark on a two-lap journey around the beautiful ASU Mountain Home campus, primarily utilizing its walking paths. The course is generally flat and fast, with minor elevation changes at the start and finish, making it enjoyable for runners of all levels.

The race kicks off at 7:00 AM, starting in front of The Sheid and culminating in a unique finish at the Keller Fountain in the heart of campus. Runners will pass a well-stocked aid station twice at the halfway point of each lap, offering both Gatorade and water to keep you hydrated. Typical race day conditions in late June can see highs around 88°F and lows around 68°F, with a 15% chance of precipitation, so an early start helps beat the summer heat. This chip-timed event rewards timely registrants with a race-day t-shirt, finisher medals, and age-division medals three-deep, along with post-race snacks to refuel.

More than just a race, the Red White and Blue 5K offers a chance to experience the lively community spirit of Mountain Home's annual Red White & Blue Festival, known for drawing hundreds of runners and visitors alike. With its engaging course, supportive atmosphere, and festive surroundings, this 5K is an excellent choice for those seeking a fun and fulfilling race experience in the Ozarks.
