Miracle For Jackson 5k

The Miracle For Jackson 5k is a community event held at Lady Bird Johnson Park in San Antonio. This family-oriented gathering supports the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) in honor of Jackson, a young boy who received an intestinal transplant in 2025. The event aims to assist with transplant-related expenses and the ongoing resources required for his recovery.

Participants can choose between two primary participation options:

  • MIRACLE FOR JACKSON 5k: A 5 km (3.1 miles) course located at the park.
  • Virtual 5k: A remote option that allows participants to complete the 5 km distance independently between March 21 and April 6, 2026.

The event day includes various organized activities such as a DJ, face painting, and snack and hydration stations for participants. Registration is tiered, with a reduced entry fee available for participants between the ages of 4 and 16. On-site logistics include specialized areas for vendors and sponsors, alongside a pre-race packet pickup period.

The virtual race component requires registration by March 23, 2026. For those participating in person at Lady Bird Johnson Park, the facility is located at 10700 Nacogdoches Road. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
