Prepare for a rewarding and fast-paced experience at the annual Scholar Sprint, returning Saturday, June 20, 2026, to the charming Argos Community Park in Argos, Indiana. This community-focused event offers distances for every runner, including a 10K, a 5K, and a 1-Mile Fun Run, with all races starting and finishing within the picturesque park. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 83°F and lows around 60°F, accompanied by an 18% chance of precipitation.

Runners looking for speed will appreciate the predominantly flat and fast courses. The 1-Mile Fun Run winds along a paved path within Argos Community Park, offering a scenic loop for all ages. For those tackling the 5K, enjoy a beautiful out-and-back journey through the quaint town of Argos. The 10K expands on this, leading participants through the heart of Argos and into the scenic Marshall County countryside. Water stations will be available along the 5K and 10K routes, as well as at the race pavilion, to keep you hydrated.

What truly sets the Scholar Sprint apart is its profound impact beyond the finish line. This race proudly supports Argos Dollars for Scholars, a dedicated non-profit organization raising vital funds for scholarships awarded to graduating Argos Seniors pursuing higher education. Adding a unique competitive edge, the 5K Fireman's Challenge sees local heroes compete in full fire gear, including oxygen tanks, vying for a coveted traveling trophy. Join the Scholar Sprint for a chance to achieve a personal best on a welcoming course while contributing to a brighter future for local students.
