OUR MISSION

Founded in 2012. Our mission is to keep the community engaged year-round by not only motivating, encouraging, and rewarding healthy lifestyles; but by creating incredibly fun and unforgettable experiences.

Each event brings people from all over the world together for a great cause!

The Irving Marathon Running Series benefits the Irving Schools Foundation by donating a $1,000 scholarship at each event 8 times a year.

100% of donations to the Irving Schools Foundation go to their programs, such as Food For Thought to provide meals for students in need.

100% of donations to the Sponsor A Student To Run Program go towards the race registration costs for students in need. At each event, Irving Marathon Running Series donates 20-25 race registrations to students in need. Your donation helps children of our community practice wellness at an early level. Children who learn at an early age to be self-motivated, stay active, and make healthy lifestyle choices have a lower risk of having obesity and other critical health conditions. The Irving Marathon Running Series is taking steps early for a healthy future.

Changing Our Future!

The Irving Marathon partnered with the Baylor Scott & White Irving Foundation and Irving, Grand Prairie, and Coppell ISD to encourage students to learn healthy exercise routines and habits. Together we raise funds and awareness to battle childhood obesity at the elementary and middle school level.

100% of donations to the Baylor Scott & White Irving Foundation go toward impacting the current and future health of children via the iRun program. Students are encouraged to get active and learn healthy exercise routines and habits. They are challenged to run the distance of a marathon throughout the school year. They receive incentives to reward their accomplishments at miles 5, 10, and 18. Every $10 donated helps sponsor, roughly 2.5 children to participate in the iRun Program. As a result of our past participants and donors, 11,000 kids have benefited from the iRun program! Thank you to all Irving Marathon Running Series participants and donors. You are truly making a difference in their lives by helping them learn and adopt a healthy lifestyle that they carry into their adult lives and reverse the obesity epidemic.
