Sneakers on the Ground 5K : Bill Cockrell Park, Shreveport
Sneakers on the Ground is a community run/walk event held on May 30, 2026, at Bill Cockrell Park, 4109 Pines Road, Shreveport, LA 71119. The program includes a main 5K run/walk, a kids 1/2 mile fun run, and a non-participation "Sofa Supporter" option for supporters who will not attend in person.
Distances:
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- 1/2 mile kids fun run
Registration pricing for the 5K is tiered: an early bird rate of $20 through April 22, a regular rate of $25 from April 23 through May 29, and a race day registration fee of $30. The kids 1/2 mile fun run fee is $10. Sofa Supporter registrations are offered with a shirt option; $25 includes a t-shirt or towel, and a reduced amount (noted during registration) removes the shirt charge.
Packet pick-up is handled at Sportspectrum on the two days before the event, and packets can also be collected at the race site on event day. Registrants choose either a short sleeve t-shirt or a towel; shirts and towels are not guaranteed for registrations after May 15.
Awards are planned for overall male and female in the 5K, first and second place in each adult age group, and top three finishers in the kids fun run. Strollers and similar hand-pushed devices are permitted only at walking pace; in-line skates and roller skates are not allowed on the course.
