Kindleberger 5k Run/Walk

The Kindleberger Summer Festival 5K Run & Fitness Walk returns on July 11, 2026, kicking off the festivities on Saturday in beautiful Kindleberger Park in Parchment. Starting at 7:30 a.m., this community tradition welcomes runners, walkers, families, and fitness enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. The scenic 5K course winds through Parchment's tree-lined neighborhoods before returning to the park, where participants can enjoy a full day of Kindleberger Summer Festival activities. Whether you're chasing a personal record, enjoying a morning walk with friends, or introducing your family to a healthy and active lifestyle, the Kindleberger 5K offers something for everyone. More than just a race, it's a celebration of community, wellness, and the spirit of one of the area's most beloved summer traditions. Following the event, participants can stay and enjoy the festival's parade, arts and crafts show, children's activities, food vendors, entertainment, and much more. Join us on July 11 and be part of a tradition that has brought the community together for more than four decades. Lace up your running shoes, gather your friends and family, and start your Saturday with an unforgettable morning of fun and fitness! Don't miss out on your event shirt! Participants must be registered by 11:59 PM on June 30, 2026, to guarantee a t-shirt. Our t-shirt inventory is dynamic after 6/30 and will allow you to only select sizes with available inventory.
