From the organizer

Run with the Pride 5K – 2026

Join us for the 2026 Run with the Pride 5K, hosted by the Missouri Southern State University Kinesiology Department and organized by students in the KINE 395 Practicum Class. This annual event brings together students, alumni, families, and the Joplin community to celebrate movement, education, and Lion pride.

Proceeds from the Run with the Pride 5K benefit the Lori Pflug Memorial Endowment Scholarship and support ongoing programs within the MSSU Kinesiology Department, helping future students pursue careers in health, fitness, and human performance.

Whether you’re racing for a PR, walking with friends, or cheering from the sidelines, this event is designed for all ages and abilities. Come out, get active, and support a great cause while showing your Lion pride.

Run with the Pride—and make an impact with every step.
