Run for Hope! Walk in Unity 2026

Run for Hope! Walk in Unity is a McKinney, Texas event based at Towne Lake, with the start listed at 1405 Wilson Creek Parkway. It gives runners a 5K option and walkers a 1-mile route, so the day is built for both people who want a short race and people who want an easy community walk. The event brings together more than 10 faith communities, local leaders, and nonprofit partners. Entry proceeds support food, health, education, and rental assistance for vulnerable neighbors through Collin County's Neighbor Hub at McKinney, and the gathering also includes a live band, food trucks, balloon making, cotton candy, a photo booth, and games.
