Easter Sun Run 2025

Impact Your Community

Join us for the 31st annual Easter Sun Run on April 19 at Sedgwick County Park in Wichita!

Whether you’re racing for the win, enjoying a fun jog with friends, taking a relaxing stroll (and earning a medal for it!), or bringing the family for the Easter Family Fun Zone, this event has something for everyone.

Beyond the finish line, your participation makes a real difference! The Easter Sun Run is a major fundraiser for Youth Horizons, a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of 200 local youth and their families through mentoring, foster residential care, and advocacy programs.

Run for fun. Run for impact. Run with purpose.
We can’t wait to see you there!
