AR Alpha Pi Beta Phi 5K 2026

Pi Beta Phi is excited to host our 21st Annual 5K on September 26, 2026, at 8:00 am. At Arkansas Alpha, we remain committed to empowering the children in our community and to making a lasting impact on their literacy through our service. Through multiple philanthropic initiatives, Pi Beta Phi emphasizes intentional service and works to impact our children through elementary schools, organizations, and businesses in the Northwest Arkansas area.

We are proud to have chapter members serving in elementary schools daily in programs such as Champions Are Readers, Lunch Buddies, Pen Pals, Library Buddies, Pre-K Buddies and volunteer initiatives in the community. Every week, we step into Vandergriff, Leverett, Asbell and Butterfield Elementary Schools in the FISD system, along with Potters House Pre-school program: Wet Cement. The Pi Phi 5K is significant in advocating for and raising awareness of Pi Beta Phi's various philanthropic initiatives, with children's literacy as our national philanthropic focus.

All proceeds from the Pi Beta Phi 5K will be contributed to the Pi Beta Phi Literacy Fund, which plays a vital role in promoting children's literacy efforts both locally in Fayetteville and nationally. We encourage you to participate in the 5K and help us further advance childhood literacy, helping to secure a brighter educational future for generations to come! You can run or walk, honor a loved one and enjoy the beauty of Fayetteville along the trails, and our members will be posted throughout to cheer you on every step of the way.
