Corridas de 5K perto de Arlington

The Mending Minds 5k and 1 Mile is an annual run/walk for mental health awareness held at Smith Park, 4000 Greenbriar, in University Park, Texas. Participants can choose between a 5 km race or a 1 mile route (approximately 1.6 km). Registration is available on the event day in the morning prior to the 8:30 am start. The event benefits the Parenting for the Present Foundation, an organization that provides resources, mental health services, and psychological testing for underprivileged children in South Dallas. Activities on race day include games, refreshments, t-shirts, and photo opportunities. Direct donations are accepted for those unable to attend. Pets are not permitted at the event.

Strides for Strength is a community-health run held at Discovery Meadow in downtown San Jose, offering 5K and 10K distances on a fast, flat course. A kids run for ages 2 to 7 takes place within Discovery Meadow, and a virtual option is available for remote participation. The in-person 5K and 10K accommodate a wide range of runners and walkers. Registration includes a bib, a wicking race shirt, and a finisher medal. The race supports Valley Health Foundation, which funds public healthcare facilities and programs throughout Silicon Valley. Its fundraising initiative, Run It Forward, links the event to practical health needs: family well-being, care for underserved neighbors, equipment and training for healthcare staff, and advocacy for wider health access. Participants can register individually or as a team. Those 21 and older receive a post-finish beer or mimosa.

Honor life and tradition at this festive event, winding through Texas parks, including Marine Creek Lake. The course goes through landscapes, lakes, and trees, highlighting nature's beauty. As the morning air fills with the scent of marigolds, runners start a journey through nature's tranquility, with a scene of Texas beauty at the finish. A post-race gathering offers Mexican treats and drinks, while a costume contest invites participants of all ages and experience levels to run and celebrate in Day of the Dead style.

The Sister to Sister Fitness Festival is a 5K walk/run in Cedar Hill, Texas, based at the Alan E. Sims Cedar Hill Recreation Center near Dallas. It is hosted by the Celebrating Life Foundation, a nonprofit that works to reduce the power of breast cancer through education, encouragement, early detection, and support for people affected by the disease. The event is built around movement, with onsite and virtual options so participants can walk, run, or move from home, a park, a neighborhood route, or the recreation center course. Its timing connects it with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and registration has started around $45. This is more than a standard local 5K, because survivors, caregivers, families, friends, and community groups are central to the day. The festival has run for more than two decades and has marked a 25th edition, so it carries the feel of a long-running community health tradition rather than a one-off fundraiser. Past themes such as “We’re in this Together” and “Unstoppable Together” point to the same purpose: people showing up for one another while raising awareness about breast cancer. The virtual version grew out of a year when the event moved online, and it stayed useful because it lets people join even if they cannot get to Cedar Hill.

The Hot Flash 5K Walk/Run is a flat 5K in Cayce, South Carolina, on the Timmerman Trail along Congaree Creek. It begins in the morning from Fort Congaree Trail and attracts runners and walkers from across the Midlands, with a Kids Fun Run shortly after the 5K start. The route follows wooded trail sections and features chainsaw art carved into fallen trees by Wade Geddings. Finishers get custom medals, top overall male and female runners can win cash prizes, and the first masters finishers also receive awards. The event includes a costume contest, live music, fruit, energy bars, refreshments, and homemade baked goods, and it raises funds for local community projects like scholarships and support for City of Cayce employees.

The My Daughters – Texans Against Child Trafficking 5K is a run/walk in Fort Worth’s Trinity Park, starting at the Duck Pond. It is held in October, with packet pickup in the morning, a pre-race ceremony, and the 5K starting after that. The event is built around a clear cause: raising awareness about child trafficking in Texas and supporting Texans Against Child Trafficking’s work with survivors. The course uses the trails in Trinity Park, so the day works for runners, walkers, first-time participants, and people who come mainly to support the mission. Race morning includes warm-up sessions, a live DJ, cheer zones, shirts, finisher medals, snacks, drinks, and participant goodies. There is also a virtual 5K option for people who cannot be in Fort Worth but still want to take part and support rehabilitation services and resources for survivors.

The Pumpkin Run takes place on a race morning in Morton, Illinois, connected to the local Pumpkin Festival and the Nestle Libby's pumpkin brand. The primary race is a flat 10K. An untimed 2-mile fun run/walk starts first to keep the course and finish area less congested. The route goes through town and towards Morton's outskirts, returning runners to Jefferson Street, where the finish line is located within the festival grounds. The shorter event is designed for families and casual participants, accommodating strollers and wheelchairs. The 10K offers runners a faster, flatter course. Following the race, participants can enjoy drinks, snacks, music, awards, and the race's signature pumpkin donuts.

The Beer City Half Fort Worth is a Saturday morning race and beer event held at Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, Texas. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, or 5K. For a more relaxed option, there's a 1-mile Beer Stroll around Panther Island and the Beat The Beast Beer Mile later in the morning. The main races begin early, followed by a shift towards beer tasting and the Beer City Festival. All runners receive a shirt, a Key to Beer City finisher’s medal, and a custom tasting glass, with unlimited tasting provided post-run. This event marks the Texas kickoff for the Beer City Half series, focusing on Fort Worth and Texas brewers for the post-race festivities.

The Race for Space 5K/10K designation applies to short road races held at actual space facilities, distinct from typical city-street running events. New Mexico’s Space Race takes place at Spaceport America, the first commercial spaceport globally, offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. Florida’s ACS Gateway to Space 5K/10K is conducted at Kennedy Space Center on the Launch and Landing Facility, previously known as the Shuttle Landing Facility. Houston’s Angels’ Race for Space is a 5K/10K event based at Space Center Houston. The most notable aspect is the location: at Kennedy, participants run on a course within the same facility where shuttle history remains evident, marked by landing traces from previous shuttle missions. The Houston race supports a charitable cause, benefiting Be An Angel, an organization assisting children with special needs since 1986. It also commemorates Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham, connecting the local run to NASA history and a children's cause. The Spaceport America event highlights the commercial space aspect, providing runners a unique opportunity to race within a site designed for private spaceflight, rather than a conventional park or downtown circuit.

The 2nd Chance Run - Fort Worth begins and ends at the Fort Worth Stockyards, offering a 5K and a one-mile route for runners and walkers. LifeGift, in partnership with Donate Life Texas, organizes the event to honor organ, eye, and tissue donors and to increase awareness for donation throughout North, Southeast, and West Texas. The event's name directly reflects its purpose: over 10,000 Texans are currently awaiting a transplant to receive a second chance at life. The event is designed for more than just the race itself, bringing together participants, volunteers, and spectators in the Donate Life Texas Race Village. This area features a donor remembrance tent, a children's area, a photo booth, games, food and drinks, and free items. Participants who register for the in-person event will receive a race bib, timing chip, a custom event t-shirt, a custom 2nd Chance Run medal, and a swag bag. A virtual option is also available, allowing individuals to run or walk from any location.
