Easter Sun Run 2026

Run for fun. Run for impact. Run with purpose.

Join us for the 32nd annual Easter Sun Run on Saturday, April 4 at Sedgwick County Park in Wichita!

🏃‍♂️ Lace up and get ready for an unforgettable experience at the Easter Sun Run—one of the Midwest’s premier 10K and 2-mile run/walk events! Whether you’re racing for the win, enjoying a fun jog with friends, taking a relaxing stroll (and earning a medal for it!), or bringing the family for the Easter Family Fun Zone, this event has something for everyone.

Beyond the finish line, your participation makes a real difference! The Easter Sun Run is a major fundraiser for Youth Horizons, a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of 200 local youth and their families through mentoring, residential care, and advocacy programs.
