CPO's Stride for Stronger Communities

CPO's Stride for Stronger Communities is a local running and walking event held in Springfield, Missouri. The event takes place at 423 E Central St and serves as a fundraiser for the Community Partnership of the Ozarks, supporting services across 33 counties in the Ozarks region.

The event features two distances:

  • 5k
  • 1 Mile

The 5k event is a professionally timed race experience with results provided by Heartland Racing Co. The 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk is an untimed option open to participants of various ages and abilities seeking a shorter distance.

A Corporate Challenge is available for workplace teams. Participants can enter their employer's name during registration to contribute to their company's team total. The organization that forms the largest team receives a trophy. This initiative aims to promote wellness and team building within local businesses while supporting community efforts to build resilient children and healthy families.

The registration fee increases after March 31, 2026. The event focuses on community support and charitable contributions toward regional neighborhood development. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
