City of Roses Half Marathon & 5K

Get ready to race through the scenic vistas of Missouri at the 44th Annual City of Roses Half Marathon and 5K Weekend! Feel the adrenaline on Sunday, September 29, as the 5K kicks off at 7 AM followed closely by the Half Marathon at 7:10 AM. For those aiming for a less competitive pace, a 6:30 AM early start for the Half Marathon is available. Big prizes await with $300 for Overall Male & Female champions and $200 for the Masters category in the Half Marathon!

Experience the charm of Cape Girardeau's paved trails, tree-lined paths, and stunning county landscapes. High-spirited volunteers man water stops every 1-2 miles and at the finish line, celebrate with delicious food, drinks, and local brews. Don't miss out—the shirt deadline for the 5K is September 14, so SIGN UP NOW and be part of a tradition that didn't even stop for the year of "C." Plus, there's a flat and fast 5K course for those chasing a personal best, and for global participants, the Virtual Option awaits. Ready for a carbo-load? Join the PASTA PARTY on Saturday evening before race day!
