Celebration of Life 5K Walk/Run 2026
The Celebration of Life 5K Walk/Run is an annual community walk hosted by a local organization based in Melissa, Texas. The event began during the pandemic in 2020 and is held as part of a broader Celebration of Life Cancer Awareness weekend. Its stated purposes include promoting regular exercise and raising awareness of health issues such as cancer, sarcoidosis, diabetes, and COVID-19.
The event is organized around a 3 Miles route and is held in Melissa, with the start previously located at Melissa Lake Park. Registrants may participate in person or complete the 3-mile distance remotely in their own neighborhood; remote participation can include a donation. Awards are given for first through third places and T-shirts are available for purchase. Registration is offered with options for individuals, families, or teams, and a registration fee of $25.00 is listed. Registration opened on 2025-04-23 and closes on 2026-07-25.
The event description notes that the starting location could change; registrants will be notified in advance if that occurs. The event frames participation as a way to support local awareness efforts and to honor people described as Warriors, Survivors, or Angels within the community.
