Linn Creek, MO
The Great American 5K returns on Sunday, July 4, 2027, after a tremendous inaugural event that sold out and welcomed runners from across the United States – and even internationally. We can’t think of a better way to begin Independence Day than with a fast, family-friendly 5K celebrating community, patriotism, and giving back.
The course runs through the Linn Creek Industrial Park, chosen for its safe, flat layout that’s perfect for runners, walkers, families, and those pushing strollers. Whether you’re chasing a personal record, enjoying a holiday walk with friends, or introducing your kids to their first race, you’ll feel right at home.
Participants can once again look forward to premium race swag, a custom finisher medal, and an energetic race-day atmosphere that quickly made the Great American 5K a new Lake-area tradition. With patriotic music, American flags lining the course, and hundreds of participants dressed in red, white, and blue, there’s no better way to kick off your Fourth of July celebration.
The inaugural Great American 5K exceeded every expectation, selling out weeks before race day and becoming one of the Lake area’s newest Independence Day traditions. We invite you to be part of the next chapter as we celebrate America and make July 4, 2027, another memorable morning at the Lake.
Whether you’re running, walking, or simply looking for a meaningful way to start Independence Day, we’ll see you at the starting line. 🇺🇸
