Ready to Glow? New 5K Run + Lantern Release Coming to Texarkana

Get ready to Glow Up Texarkana! The first-ever 2025 Be the Light 5K Run/Walk and Lantern Release is slated for Saturday, September 27, at 7 PM at 2600 St. Michael Drive.

Be the Light 5K Run/Walk and Lantern/Candle Release

This special one-of-a-kind event is hosted by Fearfully and Wonderfully Made to help support NICU families during NICU Awareness Month.  NICU stands for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the unit for super sick babies and babies born prematurely.

The 2025 Be the Light 5K Run/Walk will allow families to "shine the light" on all things related to NICU and bring some brightness into the world. Every step is a journey.

Runners are encouraged to embrace what it means to Be The  Light in the darkness. So, dress up and glow up! The more glow, the better.

Be the Light Glow 5K Run/ Walk Times and Registration

The Glow Run/Walk starts at 7 PM, followed by the Candle/Lantern Release at 8 PM on the CHRISTUS St. Michael Trail. Strollers are welcome, but no pets are allowed. Joining this event will show NICU families that you and our community care and support this worthy cause.
