Neosho Dogwood Run/Walk 5K – Neosho, MO 2026

The 44th edition of this most affordable walk/run in the 4-State area, the Dogwood Run 5K has been held annually in Neosho, Missouri since Eldon Morgan, a Neosho native and late Joplin RoadRunner, first hosted it in 1983. This race's only intention is to see you and your family walk or run and enjoy the famous, blooming Neosho Dogwoods on your way! Instead of medals, the first 100 finishers will receive a dogwood sapling! In addition, we will have awards for age group winners as well as the Delynn Kuhn Lifetime Achievement Award for the fastest older runner. Top male and female receive a large dogwood sapling. Special event Race Cap is optional. Not interested in setting a 5K time running or walking, or any of the race awards or dogwood trees? You just like the event race cap and have a relaxed, leisurely walk around Neosho's dogwood streets? Simply sign up for the Cap & Walk option.
