Run2Believe 5K

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Run2Believe 5k, taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Maize, KS. This annual event offers a 3.1-mile run/walk, starting and finishing at Maize High School, specifically at the football stadium. Participants will find convenient parking available in the school lot, and all race-day activities are held outdoors, fostering a lively and community-spirited atmosphere. The course is generally flat, providing an accessible and enjoyable experience for runners and walkers of all abilities, with one aid station available on the course and additional water at the finish line to keep you hydrated.

The Run2Believe 5k is more than just a race; it's a heartfelt memorial event established in honor of Kylie Brooke Jobe and Kyle Thornburg, two beloved Maize High graduates whose lives were tragically cut short by a drunk driver in 2011. This entirely volunteer-organized event is dedicated to raising crucial awareness about the consequences of impaired driving and supports annual scholarships through the Kyle Thornburg Memorial Fund and the Kylie Jobe Endowment.

As you traverse the course, you'll be part of a powerful tribute, encouraging responsible decisions and honoring the enduring legacy of Kylie and Kyle. Typical race day conditions in early May feature pleasant highs around 71°F and lows around 49°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a supportive and memorable run. Join the Maize community for this inspiring 5k and contribute to a cause that truly makes a difference.
