Run for the Fatherless 2026
Run for the Fatherless is the fifth annual community running event held at Founders Park, Hensley Lane, Wylie, TX on November 21, 2026. The event raises funds for Hope for the Fatherless in Ethiopia; proceeds are directed toward efforts to end the orphan crisis in that country.
The program includes a timed 5K and a 1 mile Fun Run. The 5K is timed and awards medals to top finishers in multiple age categories, including overall male and female and the following age groups: 14 and under, 15–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, and 70 plus. The 1 mile Fun Run includes a pricing discount for ages 11 and under during checkout.
Registration requires fees that vary by event and date; listed prices include mandatory processing charges where applicable. The event description and categories indicate an organized race format with timing and age-group recognition, plus a shorter family-oriented run option.
