About Believe! 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run

Believe! champions the development journey of young people through programs that create transformative educational and leadership opportunities, cultivating the skills and confidence they need to shape tomorrow's world. This years' proceeds will go to benefit a great organization in McKinney: (C.L.I.M.B).

C.L.I.M.B. seeks to provide free after-school enrichment activities to stimulate school-aged children’s intellectual and creative development through programming that is interactive, engaging, and respectful. In addition to strengthening learning habits, volunteers from churches, businesses, and service organizations, will provide activities that “inspire to aspire”, to cultivate optimism in the children about their aspirations for their futures.

Start your Holiday season off right with this run/walk through Historic downtown McKinney! Walkers will find the 1-mile course delightful, and 5K runners can look forward to a challenging and beautiful course, beginning just steps away from McKinney's downtown square.
