Tim Heinsz 5K/10K

Lace up your running shoes for the 22nd Annual Tim Heinsz 5K/10K, set to take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, in Columbia, MO. This beloved community event, originating from Mizzou Law School at 820 Conley Ave, offers both a chip-timed 5K and 10K distance, alongside a "Just for Fun!" option for those who prefer a more relaxed experience. Runners will embark on a course that winds through the scenic University of Missouri campus, starting and finishing near Hulston Hall and the Mel Carnahan Quad.

More than just a race, the Tim Heinsz 5K/10K honors the legacies of three cherished Mizzou Law deans who championed fitness, furry friends, and fun. Proceeds from your participation directly benefit the Timothy J. Heinsz Scholarship Fund, making every stride a contribution to a worthy cause. Typical race day conditions in mid-April offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 66F and lows around 45F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation.

Runners can anticipate a festive atmosphere, complete with live entertainment and post-race pancakes to refuel and celebrate your achievement. The event is a true celebration of community and fitness, also featuring the Jim Devine Dog Walk and the Bob Bailey Bike Ride, along with a Kids Fun Run, ensuring there's something for every member of the family. Join an energetic community of participants for a memorable day of racing and giving back.
