Believe! champions the development journey of young people through programs that create transformative educational and leadership opportunities, cultivating the skills and confidence they need to shape tomorrow's world. This years' proceeds will go to benefit 2 great organizations in McKinney: Holy Family School and Aliance of Elite Youth Leadership (AEYL).
Holy Family School provides a safe, loving environment for culturally, economically and ethnically diverse children in the area. AEYL is dedicated to the development of a diverse population of teens (12-18) and young adults (19-24), including low-to-moderate geographic areas, to cultivate accessibility, exposure & opportunity to build positive perspectives of life with an emphasis on higher education, economic and community development.
Start your Holiday season off right with this run/walk through Historic downtown McKinney! Walkers will find the 1-mile course delightful and 5K runners can look forward to a challenging and beautiful course, beginning just steps away from McKinney's downtown square.
The Believe 5k race is a family-friendly way to spend the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and give back at the same time. Stay in historic downtown McKinney after the race and experience McKinney's Home for the Holidays event full of food and fun.
We are excited to see you at the starting line again!
