Huskers 5K

Huskers 5K is a community 5 kilometer running and walking event held in East Prairie, Missouri, in conjunction with the East Prairie Main Street Party and Sweet Corn Festival. The event uses the East Prairie Chamber of Commerce / Body Fx Gym at 106 S. Washington as the start and finish area. Registration tables and packet pickup are set up outside the gym, and free street parking is available nearby; participants are advised to allow extra time for parking because the race coincides with the festival.

Registration offers tiered pricing: Early Bird through April 30 is $20, May 1 through June 12 is $25 with shirts not guaranteed, and onsite registration on race day is $30 with shirts available for purchase while supplies last. Pre-registration includes an official Huskers 5K t-shirt when registered by June 12. Additional shirts can be pre-ordered through the festival website and picked up the night of the run; youth sizes small to large are $15, adult small to XL are $15, adult 2XL $16, and adult 3XL $17.

The course is flat and runs along well-marked city streets, sidewalks, and rural highways. Participants must obey all traffic laws; pets, bicycles, and rollerblades are not allowed on the course. Race officials and ATV support will be stationed along the route. Multiple water stations and portable restrooms plus running water are available at the start and finish. Awards are given to top overall male and female and across age groups from 10 and under up through 70 plus. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
