25th Annual Leatherneck Run 2026

The Leatherneck Run takes place in Woodway, Texas, starting at First Woodway Baptist Church on Ritchie Road. It features a 5K run and a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, both beginning in the morning following packet pickup and an opening ceremony. This marks the event's 25th year, giving it the character of a well-established local race with a consistent format, rather than a spontaneous fundraising effort. The course begins at the church's main entrance, proceeding through neighborhood streets adjacent to the church. Parking is available on the west side of the main entrance. Early packet pickup occurs in nearby Waco. All participants receive a finisher medal. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in age groups ranging from 12 and under to 75 and older.
