Join us for the 8th Annual DFW HBCU Alumni 5K, celebrating our 2026 theme, Rooted in Legacy, Running Toward Tomorrow. Hosted by The Robinson House Foundation in partnership with the HBCU Project and the Dallas Metroplex Council of Black Alumni Associations, this vibrant community event funds the DFW HBCU Alumni Heritage Scholarship, which has awarded $50,000 to 100 deserving students since 2019.
The DFW HBCU Alumni 5K unites the spirit of HBCU pride with the power of community health, fostering relationships while promoting active lifestyles. Participants will experience the energy of HBCU culture through our DJ, spirited competition, and a vendor marketplace featuring health and wellness products, fitness resources, HBCU and Divine Nine merchandise, and more! Before and after the race, participants come together in the Alumni Connection Zone where local alumni associations set up tents and fellowship.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-time participant, your presence helps sustain our commitment to educational excellence. Every step taken directly supports the next generation of HBCU scholars.
Come move with purpose. Come celebrate heritage!

VENDOR REGISTRATION Closed
Online registration closed-
The vendor area will be on the event's Grand Lawn. As a vendor, you must supply your own: 10' x 10' tent or smaller, tables and chairs, and power source (e.g. battery pack, small generator), if required. The Grand Lawn does not offer power outlets. We recommend that vendors bring their own hand cart, dolly, or wagon to transport items from the parking lot to the Grand Lawn event space, as there is a travel distance between the two areas. Please prepare accordingly for load-in and load-out logistics. Vendors may begin set up at 5:30 am the day of the event. Participant check-in will begin at 6:00 am, and the race will begin at 7:30 am. Vendor tear-down must be completed no later than 11 am.
