Lace up for a meaningful stride at the Zonta 5K, 10K, and 1 Mile Fun Run, returning to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on Saturday, June 13, 2026. This beloved community event, hosted at the scenic Arena Park by the 4H Building, offers distances for every pace and ability, from a chip-timed 6.2-mile 10K and 3.1-mile 5K to a leisurely 1-mile fun run/walk. Beyond the finish line, every step you take supports the Zonta Club of Cape Girardeau's vital service projects, dedicated to advancing the status of women and girls worldwide. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 88°F and lows around 66°F, and a 16% chance of precipitation, making for an invigorating start to your Saturday.

The 10K race kicks off bright and early at 7:30 AM CDT, followed by the 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk at 8:00 AM CDT, allowing participants to enjoy the morning air. Both the 5K and 10K are chip-timed, with awards presented to the overall male and female winners, as well as the top three finishers in each age category.

Packet pick-up is conveniently available on Friday, June 12, from 5 PM to 8 PM at Fitness Plus, or on race day starting at 6:45 AM at Arena Park. This event also proudly serves as a Cape Road Runners Grand Prix Event.
