The Weslaco Scholarship Foundation's Scholar Stride 5k is more than just a race—it's an opportunity to invest in the future of Weslaco's students.

Every registration, sponsorship, and donation directly supports our seniors as they take the next step toward higher education. Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation makes a lasting impact on the lives of Weslaco graduates. Join us as we celebrate achievement, strengthen our community, and help create brighter futures—one mile at a time.
