2026 One Ale of a Trail

Running 4 Renewal

Restoring Hope. Renewing Purpose

5K Run & 1-Mile Family Walk/Run

Run for Hope. Walk for Healing. Renew a Life.

Join us for the Little Elm inaugural Running for Renewal 5K run and 1-Mile Family run/walk. This a community event dedicated to restoring hope, rebuilding lives, and supporting individuals and families impacted by addiction, mental health challenges, trauma, grief, and other life-altering adversities.

Whether you are an experienced runner, a casual walker, someone in recovery, a family member supporting a loved one, or simply someone who believes in the power of second chances, this event is for you.

Together, we will take meaningful steps toward breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health while raising awareness and support for whole-person recovery.
