Run for Hope 5K - Murphy

Murphy, United States • 28 Feb 2026

Run for Hope 5k Fun Run/Walk

Murphy Church holds its Second Annual Run for Hope, a 5k run and walk that benefits Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls. The event collects new shoes and socks for the Buckner program; the collection period runs from January 11 to March 1. Registration for the run is fulfilled by donating a new pair of shoes or socks.

The route follows a trail next to the church, descends toward Ruth Back Toler Park, returns along the same trail, and finishes uphill back at the church. The course length is 5k and includes a crossing of Brand Road where a safety team will advise on crossing.

Event activities include a time to pray over the donated shoes and add letters and prayer cards to the shoes. The event is presented as a family activity hosted at Murphy Church, 411 S Murphy Rd, Murphy, Texas 75094. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
