The Irving Marathon Running Series brings people from all over the world together for a great cause!
The Irving Marathon Running Series donates $1,000 to the Irving Schools Foundation at each race, totaling $8,000 in scholarships for Irving ISD students annually.
Participants have the option to donate to the Irving Schools Foundation. 100% of donations go to their programs, such as Food For Thought, which provides meals for students in need.
Participants also have the option to donate to the Sponsor A Student to Run Program, where 100% of donations go towards covering race registration costs for students in need. At each event, the Irving Marathon Running Series donates 20-25 race registrations to students in need. These donations help children in our community to practice wellness at an early age, fostering self-motivation, staying active, and making healthy lifestyle choices, ultimately reducing their risk of obesity and other critical health conditions. The Irving Marathon Running Series is taking proactive steps for a healthy future.
