Family 5k
Valley Baptist Youth, a Christian non-profit in the Rio Grande Valley, organizes a family 5k on 27 June 2026 at 702 N. Reynolds Rd., Rio Hondo, Texas. The course distance is 3.1 miles and the event is presented as an opportunity for families to run together as a reflection of the spiritual race described in Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV: “12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
The morning program includes a devotional and a brief group stretching session led by a local veteran marathon runner and triathlete. The organizer frames the run as a tangible example of perseverance in the Christian life and of family members supporting each other through challenges.
Post-run refreshments and games will be available. All age groups are welcome. Registration opens April 30, 2026 and closes June 25, 2026. The registration fee is $15.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
