San Benito, Texas, United States, 15th Sep 2026 — Sunny Glen Children’s Home is bringing back its 12th Annual Incredible Kidz 5K and 1 Mile Color Run on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. at McKelvey Park in Harlingen.

The event benefits Sunny Glen Children’s Home and foster children across the Rio Grande Valley, giving families, runners, walkers, businesses, and neighbors a chance to come together for a morning of fun while supporting children in their community.

Registration is free for the first 200 children ages 12 and younger. Participants ages 13 and older can register for $30. Registered participants receive a run bib, T-shirt, and medal. Details about packet pickup will be provided closer to the event.

More than just a race, the Incredible Kidz Run is about hope, joy, and brighter futures.

This year’s event also comes during a special milestone as the organization celebrates 90 years of serving children and young people in South Texas. What started in 1936 with six children in a small house near La Feria has grown into decades of care and support for more than 25,000 children.

Today, Sunny Glen continues to serve children and young people through residential care, counseling, foster care services, transitional living programs, and other forms of support.

The Incredible Kidz Run gives the Rio Grande Valley community a chance to be part of that mission in a simple and meaningful way. Some participants come to race, while others walk with their families, bring friends, or form teams with coworkers. No matter how they take part, they are helping support the work Sunny Glen has carried forward for generations.

Sunny Glen is also inviting local businesses and individuals to become sponsors of this year’s event. Those interested in sponsorship opportunities can email fundraising@sunnyglen.org or call 956-399-5356.

Run. Laugh. Make a Difference.
