Sam Speake Memorial Scholarship 5K Run-Walk
The Sam Speake Memorial Scholarship 5K Run-Walk is a community 5K run and walk held in Columbia, Missouri, with the gathering point at Shepard Park across from Shepard Elementary School. The event is organized to celebrate Sam and to raise money for a scholarship in his name. All proceeds and donations from the event are directed to the scholarship fund.
Registration for the event opens on May 23, 2026 and closes on October 17, 2026. The listed registration fee is $40. The event combines running and walking participants on the same 5K course and is presented as a community fundraising activity.
A post-event celebration takes place in the park to share memories and support for the scholarship. The description focuses on the charitable purpose, the location in Shepard Park, the single 5K distance, the registration window, and the after-event gathering in the park.
