Smilin' Rylen Run

The Smilin' Rylen Run is an annual athletic event held in Katy, Texas, to commemorate the impact of organ donation. Organized by The Smilin' Rylen Foundation, the event focuses on raising awareness for organ donation and providing assistance to families facing a crisis. Participants often display the color orange, which is associated with the event's theme of happiness.

The event offers several distances and categories for participants of different ages:

  • 10K In-Person run
  • 5K In-Person run
  • 1 Mile In-Person run or walk
  • 10K, 5K, and 1 Mile Virtual options

The in-person categories are divided into age groups for those 18 and older, as well as participants aged 17 and under. The virtual options allow for participation from any location. The run is held at Grand Circle Boulevard and serves as a community gathering to honor the lives saved through medical advances in organ donation.
