The Hillcrest Home Run 5K - Parkville
The Hillcrest Home Run 5K takes place on March 28, 2026, at English Landing Park in Parkville, Missouri. The event offers a chip-timed 5K Run/Walk, a Kids Dash for ages 10 and under, and a Virtual 5K Run/Walk.
The event raises funds for Hillcrest Platte County, an organization that provides transitional housing, counseling services, and life-skills programs for people who are working but insecurely housed. Materials on the event note that proceeds support safe, stable housing for local families and young adults.
The course is a certified 5K at English Landing Park with under 20 feet of elevation gain and minimal turns. Organizers state the course was designed by runners and can be observed from several locations. Live chip-timing and awards are provided, and results are available at the registration tent after finish.
Registration items include a custom t-shirt and a finisher medal, and snacks are provided at the finish. Packet pickup is available in advance at the Hillcrest Platte County administrative office and at the race site on race day. The event has a no-refund policy and will transfer participants to the virtual option if cancellation is required by the venue or for ice hazards.
