Run for the Fatherless
Run for the Fatherless is the 5th annual community race held at Founders Park on Hensley Lane in Wylie, Texas, on November 21, 2026. The event includes a timed 5K and a 1 mile Fun Run and raises funds for Hope for the Fatherless, an organization working in Ethiopia.
All funds raised support efforts to address the orphan crisis in Ethiopia. The organizing charity states that every orphaned or vulnerable child deserves a loving family through reunification, kinship placement, domestic adoption, or small group homes.
The 5K will be timed and medals are awarded to top finishers in each age category. Age divisions for awards include overall male and female plus grouped age categories such as 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 plus. A separate 1 mile Fun Run is offered for participants of all ages.
Practical details such as registration periods, pricing tiers, and participant discounts are part of the event setup. The event takes place at Founders Park, 851 Hensley Lane, Wylie, TX 75098. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
