About this race
The Race 2026 is coming, and this year we are celebrating what keeps us grounded and growing strong. Year 9 centers on being ROOTED in community, culture, and purpose. Since 2018, The Race has built a powerful foundation of wellness, unity, economic impact, and cultural pride, and we are excited to honor those roots as we continue to evolve.
The Race weekend offers more than a run. It is a high energy experience focused on connection and impact. Participants can enjoy a vibrant expo, a world class half marathon and 5K, and virtual options for runners and walkers everywhere. The weekend also includes our Community Impact Service Day, where volunteers and partners come together to support meaningful work in local neighborhoods.
The Race Foundation is the philanthropic arm of The Race. The Race Foundation, through its activities and giving, empower, support, and uplift Charitable Partners and Small Businesses Partners, with an emphasis on partners representing Black people and underserved communities in the realm of health, wellness, and access to health & wellness resources.
