Packet pickup is available on Friday in Waynesville Park and on race morning in the FEMA shelter behind East Elementary.
Distances offered include:

The Leapfrog 5k is a chip timed out and back course described as flat and fast and occurs in Waynesville Park. The 10k and Half Marathon run along the banks of the Roubidoux and pass Frog Rock, a local landmark, with views of fall colors in the Ozarks. Races finish at Waynesville Park, and shuttles are provided to return runners to the start area.
A Frog Hill Challenge awards an additional medal to participants who run the Leapfrog 5k and then complete either the 10k or Half Marathon. A Route 66 challenge option is available for a separate fee and includes multiple regional races and an embroidered vest. Children ages 6 to 18 may register free with the code ACTIVEKIDS; shirts are not guaranteed for registrations after September 1, 2026.
