PORCH invites neighbors, supporters, and community partners to come together for Run South Cape, a community 5K and 1-mile fun run, on Saturday, October 31, 2026. Starting at Shawnee Park Center, participants will travel through the neighborhood, passing homes renovated by PORCH and seeing the impact of revitalization firsthand.

A family-friendly event for runners/walkers of all ages, the race offers an opportunity to celebrate community, connect with neighbors, and support PORCH’s work to create stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods. Double the fun by wearing your favorite costume, collecting sweet treats, and visiting our finish-line Trunk-or-Treat!

Proceeds from the event will directly support PORCH’s mission, ongoing operations, and neighborhood revitalization efforts. Learn more about PORCH Initiative at www.lovesouthcape.org.

The race will start and finish at Shawnee Park Center, located at 835 S. West End Blvd., in Cape Girardeau, MO 63703.
