Jesse James Festival 10k Bill James Classic

Kearney, United States • 12 Sep 2026

Event Overview

The Jesse James Festival 5k /10k Bill James Classic offers three events: a 5k, a 10k, and a 1 Mile Stroll. It takes place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, in Kearney, Missouri.

Course Details

The run is a paved trail race. It uses the trails of both Jesse James Park and Mack Porter Park, starting and finishing at the same location in Jesse James Park. A footbridge connects the two park trails. The course features a notable hill in Jesse James Park. Participants for the 5k run a single loop of the course. Participants for the 10k run the same loop twice, meaning they encounter the hill twice. The 1 Mile Stroll (listed elsewhere as a 2.09k/1.30 mile event) involves two loops around a pond.

Additional Information

Registration prices are listed as $30 for the 5k and 10k, and $15 for the 1 Mile Stroll. Further event information can be found on the official Jesse James Festival website. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
