The Kay Cheever Arbor Day 5K is in the books. 120 finishers, 146 total entries. Kudos to race director Dan Radtke, race co-sponsors Brookings Park and Recreation Department and race hosts Brookings County Outdoor Adventure Center.

Note: The race was hand timed, so it is taking a while to tally results. Follow us on Facebook or check later on our website, PrairieStriders.net, for results.

Make sure that the only line you are standing in at the 2026 Arbor Day 5K is the starting line.
This year we've added online registration. It saves the runner time. It makes race day less hectic for the race director. And the race is still FREE.

Join the 27 others who have already taken advantage of this convenience.

Race morning is only one month away — April 24.

In cooperation with the Boston Athletic Association and Sneakers for Good, Prairie Strider Chuck McCullough is collecting used running shoes for redistribution in foreign countries. When it's time to switch out shoes, drop off your worn pair at Avera Physical Therapy, 2311 Yorkshire Drive.
The pictured collection is courtesy of Powershop Gym. Thanks for your effort to keep running a worldwide activity.

RIP Jeff Galloway. A mentor for many distance runners.

RIP Jeff Galloway. A mentor for many distance runners.

Our team at Anderson Race Management is deeply saddened by the passing of Jeff Galloway.

Jeff was a pioneer in the running world, a mentor to countless athletes, and an inspiration to anyone who believed that running could change lives. His run‑walk‑run method brought thousands into the sport and helped make running more accessible, joyful, and achievable for people of all backgrounds.

We extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family, friends, and the entire running community. His legacy will continue to live on every time someone laces up their shoes and takes that first step.

With respect and gratitude,
Anderson Race Management
