Lace up for the inspiring #RUNFORDYLAN 5K, 1M & VIRTUAL RUN on November 7, 2026, in Argyle, TX. This beloved annual event, now in its sixth year, offers participants a chance to run or walk a 3.11-mile course or a shorter 1-mile fun run, all while contributing to a vital cause. The race kicks off from Blanton Elementary School, located at 9501 Stacee Lane, a central hub for community spirit. Typical race day conditions in early November boast pleasant highs around 70F and comfortable lows near 45F, with a minimal 8% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a memorable race experience.
More than just a race, #RUNFORDYLAN is a powerful tribute to Dylan Dorrell, a student-athlete who tragically passed away from an undetected heart condition at 17. The event's unique mission, championed by the #runforDylan Foundation, is dedicated to raising critical awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in young athletes. Proceeds from the run directly fund heart screenings for student-athletes and support the installation of AED Save Stations in local parks and schools, actively working to prevent similar tragedies.
Participants consistently praise the uplifting and community-focused atmosphere of #RUNFORDYLAN. Past events have seen fantastic turnouts, underscoring the strong community support for Dylan's enduring legacy of kindness. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the 5K, enjoying a leisurely 1-mile stroll, or participating virtually from anywhere, you'll be joining a movement that truly makes a difference in safeguarding young lives. The event often includes food, sponsor tables, raffles, and valuable Cardiac Arrest Awareness education, making it a comprehensive and impactful community gathering.
