Light the Way Fun Run 5K 2026

The Light the Way Fun Run 5K is an evening run and walk along the Pharr Hike & Bike Trail in Pharr, Texas. The start and finish line are located at 1901 S. Cage Boulevard. This is a straightforward 5K with a $25 entry fee, taking place from 6:00 to 9:00 PM Central Time. It is structured as a community gathering rather than a competitive race. The route is not extensively detailed, but it utilizes the Precinct 2 Hike and Bike Trail. Participants include runners, walkers, families, friends, and spectators. Proceeds will fund 1,000 backpacks for students in need throughout the Rio Grande Valley, inspiring the event's "Light the Way" theme. The evening also features family-friendly activities, music, and community engagement.
