The Fiesta de Mayo 5k - Battling Cancer Together takes place on May 3, 2026 in Webster Groves, Missouri. The event offers two race entries:
- 5k Run

The race is based at the Webster Groves Upper Municipal Parking Lot, 20 Allen Avenue, and the course starts and finishes in downtown Webster Groves on West Lockwood Avenue. The route passes through several local streets, including Sherwood Drive, Baker Avenue, Locksley Place, West Frisco Avenue, West Sheffield Avenue, and North Crofton Avenue.

Post-race offerings include Kona Ice snow cones and a signature margarita available for ages 21 and older. The top overall male and female finishers receive awards.
