Join Us for the 2026 Run the Park 5K & Kids Fun Run!
Run, walk, or cheer alongside friends, families, neighbors, and local businesses at one of Central Arkansas' favorite community race traditions. Hosted by the Little Rock REALTORS® Association, Run the Park brings our community together in support of Special Olympics Arkansas — and this year, we're aiming higher than ever with a fundraising goal of $20,000.
Race expenses are covered by LRRA and our supporting affiliate sponsors, so 100% of every registration and donation goes directly to Special Olympics Arkansas — helping athletes with intellectual disabilities build confidence, develop skills, and experience the joy of belonging through year-round training and competition. By participating, you're not just running a race — you're changing lives.
Why Join the Run?
A Race for Everyone: Runners, walkers, strollers, families, and community groups of all experience levels are welcome. Make an Impact: Every $35 registration directly supports Special Olympics Arkansas. All-Inclusive Entry: Your registration includes your official race bib, Run the Park T-shirt, swag bag, professional timing, finish-line refreshments, and eligibility for awards by category and age group. Free Kids Fun Run: Our youngest athletes can join the free one-mile Kids Fun Run — advance online registration required so kids receive a race bib. More Ways to Help: Can't make it in person? Register as a virtual participant or donate directly through the race website. Virtual racers and donors who'd like a Run the Park T-shirt can email elle@lrra.com.
