Special Olympics Texas Torch Run 5k 2026

The Special Olympics Texas Torch Run 5k is a community run held at Midland College in Midland, Texas. It features a 5K Torch Run and a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk. The 5K begins in the morning, while the shorter option allows walkers, families, and less experienced participants to take part without needing to complete the full distance. The event is organized by 432 Run Crew and The Athletic Company on behalf of Special Olympics Texas. Entry fees directly support Special Olympics Texas athletes in the region. All participants receive a ribbon, and 5K runners also get a T-shirt. The event emphasizes local involvement, so expect a mix of regular runners, supporters of Special Olympics Texas, and community members attending for the cause, not just a competitive field.
