Every Step Makes a Difference
Join the Weslaco Running Club for the Faith • Hope • Love 5K Run/Walk for a Cure, a community event dedicated to supporting Maria Jiron as she courageously battles breast cancer.
Maria is much more than a patient—she is a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, mother, wonderful grandmother, treasured friend, and valued coworker whose kindness has touched countless lives. Now it's our turn to give back.
Whether you run for a personal best, walk alongside family and friends, or simply want to make a difference, your participation matters. Every registration helps provide financial support for Maria and reminds her that she is not fighting alone.

❤️ Why We Run
Breast cancer affects entire families and communities. The Faith • Hope • Love 5K is more than just a race—it's an opportunity to come together in faith, inspire hope, and show love through action.
Every step you take, every dollar raised, and every word of encouragement sends a powerful message:
Maria, you are not fighting this battle alone.
Invite your family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and teammates. Form a team, wear pink, and help us fill the course with hope and encouragement.
Keep Calm and Fight On!
Register today and be part of something bigger than a race. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in Maria Jiron's journey.
Run with Faith. Walk with Hope. Finish with Love. 💗
Please note that event shirts will not be offered for this 5K. This decision allows more of the funds raised to go directly toward Maria Jiron’s expenses during her fight against breast cancer.
Participants are encouraged to wear any pink shirt they already own, if possible, to show their support for Maria and help fill the course with hope, strength, and encouragement.
Although shirts will not be included, participants will still receive a custom finisher medal. The event will also feature age group awards and professional chip timing by Hog Racing Timing.
Thank you for helping us keep the focus where it matters most—supporting Maria in her battle against breast cancer.
This event is proudly organized and presented by the Weslaco Running Club.
All proceeds directly benefit Maria Jiron.
