Frog Hill Half/10k/5k and Frog Hill Challenge 2026

Frog Hill is a fall race weekend in Waynesville, Missouri, centered on Frog Hill, Frog Rock, and the Roubidoux River. The Leapfrog 5K takes place on Friday evening, starting from Waynesville Park. It features chip timing and a flat, fast out-and-back course. The 10K and half marathon begin Saturday morning at East Elementary and conclude at Waynesville Park. Shuttles will be available to return runners to their vehicles. The longer races descend Frog Hill and pass Frog Rock, a local landmark noted among Missouri's points of interest. All race distances trace the Roubidoux River banks and showcase the Ozarks' autumn foliage. Participants completing the Friday 5K and either the Saturday 10K or half marathon receive a third medal for the Frog Hill Challenge. Families can explore downtown Waynesville while waiting, with options for fishing, walking trails, or visiting Little Heroes Playground.
