About the Event

Join Us for the 2026 Run the Park 5K & Kids Fun Run!

Hosted by the Little Rock REALTORS® Association, this annual community tradition brings families, friends, and neighbors together to run, walk, and celebrate in support of Special Olympics Arkansas.

This year, we’re aiming higher than ever with a fundraising goal of $20,000 — and 100% of proceeds go directly to Special Olympics Arkansas, helping empower athletes with intellectual disabilities through year-round training and competition. By participating, you’re not just running a race; you’re changing lives.

Why Join the Run?

Make an Impact: Every $35 ticket directly supports Special Olympics Arkansas.
All-Inclusive Entry: Your registration includes your race bib, official t-shirt, swag bag, professional timing, and access to all race-day activities.
Family-Friendly Fun: Runners, walkers, strollers, and kids are welcome! Don’t miss the free Kids Fun Run — a chance for our youngest athletes to shine.
Community Spirit: The race is fully funded by the Little Rock REALTORS® Association and supported by our amazing affiliate sponsors, so every dollar raised goes straight to the cause.
