Blazers Run and 1-Mile Walk

Blazers Run and 1-Mile Walk takes place in Irving, Texas, on November 14, 2026. The Blazers 5K Run (3.1 miles) starts at 8:30 a.m. and the 1-Mile Walk follows at 8:45 a.m. Both begin on the football field track before leaving the campus, and both finish at The Highlands School.

The event is open to every level of experience, families with strollers included, so nobody needs a background in racing to enter. Runners get a bib and a timing chip, and medals go to the top three in each of four age groups, which gives the 5K a competitive edge if you want one. Starting on a track is a useful cue: hold back for that first loop, because the pace that feels easy on a track rarely survives 3.1 miles.
