Hosted by The Robinson House Foundation in partnership with the HBCU Project and the Dallas Metroplex Council of Black Alumni Associations, this vibrant community event funds the DFW HBCU Alumni Heritage Scholarship, which has awarded $50,000 to 100 deserving students since 2019.

The DFW HBCU Alumni 5K unites the spirit of HBCU pride with the power of community health, fostering relationships while promoting active lifestyles. Participants will experience the energy of HBCU culture through our DJ, spirited competition, and a vendor marketplace featuring health and wellness products, fitness resources, HBCU and Divine Nine merchandise, and more! Before and after the race, participants come together in the Alumni Connection Zone where local alumni associations set up tents and fellowship.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-time participant, your presence helps sustain our commitment to educational excellence. Every step taken directly supports the next generation of HBCU scholars.
