Poplar Bluff, MO
Entry is $20 now and rises to $25 after Oct 11, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The course is a short road race and an untimed fun run through Poplar Bluff, organized to raise money for a local nonprofit that works with children facing life-threatening illnesses. The memorial aspect is real and present: the event is built around honoring children the organization has lost, which gives the morning a quieter, more purposeful weight than a typical weekend race.
