Run For the Risen Son

Lace up for a meaningful run at the annual Run For the Risen Son, set to take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in Columbus, Nebraska. This inspiring 5K event invites runners of all ages and abilities to participate in a "fun day of fitness and fellowship," with a concurrent 1-mile option also available, as well as virtual participation. The race serves as a vital fundraiser for Immanuel Lutheran School, with all proceeds dedicated to enhancing enrichment programs and technology upgrades for students.

The course winds through the scenic pathways of Pawnee Park, offering a pleasant backdrop for your run or walk, and culminates with an exciting finish inside a local stadium. Typical race day conditions in early April in Columbus often see comfortable highs around 60°F and lows near 37°F, with a low 9% chance of precipitation, providing generally favorable weather for personal bests or a leisurely stroll. The Run For the Risen Son is more than just a race; it's a community gathering that welcomes everyone from serious runners to families pushing strollers, united in support of a worthy cause and celebrating faith.
