2026 ONN Stride for Health 5K Dash

Get Ready to Run, Stomp, and Support the Future of Hutto, Saturday 4/25 at 8:30am!

The Hutto Women’s Alliance is proud to bring you the 7th Annual Hippo Stampede 5K—our largest and most exciting fundraiser of the year! As a local nonprofit, we’re all about giving back to our community, and your participation helps us provide scholarships to Hutto High School seniors.

Last year, thanks to your incredible support, we hit a record-breaking milestone and awarded $10,000 in scholarships! This year, we’re dreaming even bigger for 2026, and we can’t do it without you!

The Hippo Stampede is more than a run; it’s a family-friendly event for all ages. Whether you’re dashing to the finish line, walking with friends, or cheering from the sidelines, it’s all about coming together, getting active, and making a difference for the future of our Hutto students.

Together, we can change lives—one step (or stampede) at a time!

Delivering Hope, Healing and Prevention, the mission of Hope Alliance is to empower victims of family and sexual violence to break all cycles of abuse with the help, generosity, and actions of donors, volunteers, and advocates. Providing hope for future generations through prevention, Hope Alliance is a leader in saving and transforming lives affected by family and sexual violence. Hope Alliance operates under the belief that physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse of one human being by another is unacceptable. We believe that all abuse diminishes or prohibits the full expression of life and growth that is every person’s right.

Shirt sizes cannot be guaranteed after September 15th.

Bring the family. Fun for all ages and fitness levels!
