East Atchison's Run With the Wolves
East Atchison's Run With the Wolves is a community running event in Tarkio, Missouri on July 11, 2026. The event supports the East Atchison Wolves Cross Country Team and is centered at the Tarkio Activity Center parking lot on N 13th St.
- 5 km run/walk for casual and competitive runners
- 1 mile fun run to introduce children and newcomers to running
The course follows city streets through and around Niedermeyer Park, passes by Tarkio High School, and returns to the Tarkio Activity Center parking lot. A map will be printed and a few copies will be available at the event. Roads will be lightly marked and the route will be supported by a lead vehicle or runner and volunteer field marshals.
On-course hydration is planned with water bottles at the start and finish area and a water station near the 1 to 1.25 mile mark at Niedermeyer Park. Members of the cross country team will act as pacers for the 5K, offering a range of target paces around 20 to 30 minutes. Organizers plan to offer online live results.
A registration fee of $20 is listed. Runners who sign up before June 29 receive a complementary event shirt. Entrants who register before July 10 will be timed and eligible for medals. Day-of registration is allowed but extra shirts and timing cannot be guaranteed. Medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group 0-19, 20-35, 36-50, and 51 plus. Children under 10 who finish either event will receive a medal. Donations are accepted and shirts are available for purchase. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
