Ronald McDonald House Charities St. Patrick's Day 5K in Joplin
Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Four States and Runaround organize a free community 5K on March 14, 2026 in Downtown Joplin. The event is presented by TAMKO Building Products, LLC and supported by Runaround and Joplin Greenhouse, whose contributions cover major event expenses.
Registration for the 5K is free. Instead of a registration fee, participants are asked to make a donation to support the Ronald McDonald House mission. A suggested donation example given by the organizers is $20 to sponsor a family for a two-night stay. The average family stay at the Ronald McDonald House is seven nights.
The event is framed as a community activity to support families with seriously ill children. Participants may run, jog, or walk the 5K course, and organizers encourage wearing green for St. Patrick's Day. The listed location is 303 S. Main St., Joplin, MO 64801, and the event emphasizes family-centered participation and community involvement. Major sponsors cover event costs so donated funds can focus on supporting families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
