The 17th Annual Miles for Meals is set to take place on November 14, 2026, at the picturesque Water’s Edge Park in Corpus Christi. This family-friendly event offers participants three exciting options: a certified 5K run or walk and a fun Kids 1K run. The 5K course, officially recognized by USA Track & Field (Certification # TX22054LAB), ensures accurate timing for all runners aiming to compete in ranking categories. The race begins at 5:30 p.m., with the kids' event kicking off earlier at 5:00 p.m. Registration is open until November 1, and early bird pricing guarantees a commemorative t-shirt. For adults aged 19 and over, fees range from $35 to $45 depending on when registration is completed. Youth runners between ages 5-18 can register for just $20 if they sign up by the deadline. Packet pick-up will be available at two convenient times: Friday, November 13th, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and race day itself from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Participants can also choose to register online or mail their forms directly to the Coastal Bend Food Bank. Awards will be presented immediately following the event for top male and female finishers in various age categories, including overall winners as well as master (ages 40-49) and grand masters (60+) divisions. Additionally, first through third place awards are given out based on gender within each specific age group. Join us to support a great cause while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Corpus Christi's Water’s Edge Park. Whether you're an avid runner or simply looking for a fun way to spend time with your family and friends, this event promises memorable moments amidst scenic surroundings.
