How Athlete Guild races are fueling community impact across Texas — one finish line at a time
When you lace up your shoes and toe the start line at an Athlete Guild race, you're doing more than logging miles. You're part of something bigger. Behind almost every bib number and every finish line is a community that benefits from your participation. May 2026 is a perfect example of just how far your race entry can go.
Running for the Animals
On May 2nd in Hutto, the Platinum Top 50 5K benefits Austin Pets Alive — one of the nation's leading no-kill animal rescue organizations. Your miles help give animals a second chance at life.
Breaking Barriers Around Mental Health
Mental health takes center stage in two powerful May races. On May 2nd in Kerrville, Shatter the Stigma raises awareness about mental illness and works to break down the barriers that keep people from seeking help. And on May 17th in San Antonio, the JFS Run Wild Carefree 5K, presented by Jewish Family Service San Antonio, uses the power of movement to promote mental wellness and raise funds for mental health programs serving families across the region.
Investing in Students
The Cinco de Mayo 5K/10K on May 2nd in Downtown Lockhart is more than a fiesta — it's a fundraiser for the Greater Caldwell County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Program, helping local high school graduates access higher education. Every step through downtown Lockhart helps a student get closer to their future.
Honoring the People Who Shape Us
On May 16th in Kyle, the Jackalope Run FREE 5K honors coaches, teachers, and mentors who make a difference in young lives every single day — while raising funds that directly benefit Lehman High School. Free to enter, and still giving back. It doesn't get better than that.
Why This Matters
At Athlete Guild, we believe racing is one of the most community-driven things a person can do.
Whether you're chasing a PR or running your very first 5K — you are part of this. You are the reason these nonprofits can do what they do.
Lace up. Show up. Make a difference.
