17th Annual Half Marathon benefiting The Hope & Healing Place

Run. Release. Remember. Rise.

The Hope & Healing Place is a nonprofit organization that has provided free grief support services to children and families since March 2003. The annual Half Marathon is a vital fundraiser that allows us to continue offering these services at no cost to the families who need them most.

Physical and mental health are fundamentally linked, and this race is designed to honor both. Whether you are running for personal wellness, in memory of someone you love, or in support of our mission, every mile you run helps bring hope and healing to our community.

The 13.1-mile course takes runners through scenic downtown Amarillo, the historic Oliver Eakle and Wolflin neighborhoods, and along iconic Route 66 — offering a meaningful and memorable running experience.

This year’s event is part of a larger Hope & Healing Place community experience. Runners are encouraged to stay after the race to take part in Wings of Hope, including a butterfly release honoring remembrance, healing, and resilience.

Your run makes a difference — thank you for being part of the journey.

Race for a reason at the Third Annual RT 66 Road Race — a high-energy 1-Mile, 5K, and 10K through a portion of historic Route 66 in Amarillo, Texas.

This year's race is part of the Texas Route 66 Centennial Festival Finale, marking 100 years of the Mother Road. In partnership with Get Fit Amarillo, we're also introducing a new 1-Mile Race — opening the door for more of the community to get involved, no matter your pace.

Every registration directly supports Transformation Park, a local nonprofit providing housing and essential services to those in need right here in Amarillo. When you lace up, you're not just running a race — you're helping change lives.

After you cross the finish line, stick around for the VIP After Party at KT|Black — live music, vendors, and plenty of food and drinks to keep the celebration going. $20 per person.

Whether you're chasing a PR or out for a fun walk with friends, there's a place for you on the start line.
