5k Run Walk

First launched in April 2010, the Sisters Network Inc. Stop the Silence National African American Breast Cancer 5K Walk/Run is the first and only national breast cancer walk hosted by a black-led organization for black women. The walk is hosted in April to draw attention to National Minority Health Awareness month.

Over the last 15 years, more than 4,000 participants from around the United States travel to Houston, Texas annually to honor and celebrate black women diagnosed with breast cancer. A portion of the funds raised from the Stop the Silence walk benefits Sisters Network Inc. Karen E. Jackson Breast Cancer Assistance Program (BCAP). The national program pays for 3D mammograms for uninsured women and provides financial assistance to breast cancer survivors who are currently in treatment.

    LET’S GET ART CAR WEEK ROLLIN’ & RUNNING!

    Mark your calendar and register for the Art Car IPA 5K presented by the University of Houston Downtown on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at Texas' oldest craft brewery — Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Get funky, get creative and show us your artistic talent as we party and revel in the art of running and drinking the best in Texas craft beer!

    Race registration includes a sweet, gender specific dry fit style shirt, an Art Car IPA 5K finisher medal, finisher pint glass and your choice of three Saint Arnold beverages to fill it!

    Don’t want to run or walk and just want to party? Yeah, that’s cool too…and we’ve got you covered with the Beer & Party Pass option! With this you get the finisher pint glass and three Saint Arnold beverages to fill it and the ability to join the party!

    Saint Arnold’s Art Car IPA beer debuted in August 2015 and was inspired by a fleet of hand painted Art Cars which were created by local artists for the brewery and the label artwork was designed by renowned Houston graffiti artist GONZO247, who has painted four Saint Arnold Art Cars. This hip-hop inspired artist perfectly created a brand worthy of a run that will have you running, sipping and then getting groovy on the dance floor at the post race rave (we mean party!).

    Join us for the Alexandria Foundation ‘06K Race on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Brazos River Park in Sugar Land, TX, as we celebrate five years of running, community, and impact.

    For more than 25 years, the Alexandria Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has supported scholarships and educational initiatives across the greater Houston area. Each year, the ‘06K Race extends that mission through charitable giving. In 2026, proceeds will support local Autism nonprofits Hope for Three and Seensory and Me Ministries, organizations dedicated to serving individuals with Autism and their families through advocacy, education, and inclusive programming.

    The ‘06K is more than a traditional 5K—we add an extra 1K in honor of the founding year of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (1906). Participants can run or walk and be part of a meaningful experience that blends fitness, service, and celebration.

    Participants Receive:

    • Numbered race bib

    • Commemorative finisher medal

    • Awards for top finishers

    • Course support from volunteers

    • Live DJ and race-day entertainment

    With a high-energy atmosphere, community vendors, and anniversary-year surprises, this will be our largest and most memorable ‘06K yet.

    Register early and celebrate five years of impact with us!
