- **Event Name**: The Great American 5k
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 04 Jul, 2026 at 07:04 am (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The inaugural Great American 5K debuts on Saturday, July 4, in Linn Creek, Missouri, and it’s built to be the patriotic centerpiece of the holiday. Timed perfectly with America’s 250th birthday, this race delivers a crisp, fast route and the kind of dialed-in organization that makes for a smooth, high-energy start to the day. It’s a brand-new tradition designed to feel big right out of the gate—red, white, and ready to run.

With the semiquincentennial as our backdrop, the event leans fully into the celebration. Expect bold, commemorative shirts, standout finisher awards, and race-day touches that make the entire experience feel worthy of a once-every-250-years milestone. Even better, proceeds benefit Folds of Honor, supporting scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled service members. Every mile carries meaning.

The Linn Creek Industrial Park will set the stage with a festive, atmosphere - smooth logistics, lively support, and a post-race vibe that feels like the city’s own July 4 kickoff. Whether you’re a seasoned racer, a casual jogger, a walker, or someone who simply wants to start the holiday with purpose, the Great American 5K sets the tone. For a country turning 250, this is how you start the celebration: feet on the ground, flag in the air, and a finish line that means something.
