The Hybrid Runner Foundation is proud to support the Cleburne community of up-and-coming runners by donating the proceeds of the race to the Cleburne High School Cross Country and Track Teams. We are a non-profit organization under the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code Section 501(c)(3). Proceeds from the race will go directly to fund shoes, equipment, uniforms, and general team needs so these young, aspiring runners have all the tools in place to compete at their very best.

Last year, our family of runners were thrilled to have a top-notch race in our own backyard! We loved the energy, and it was the perfect way to kick-off Thanksgiving Break. We hosted over 300 participants in our 2nd annual race and are looking to increase these numbers in 2024!

Join us for our 3rd Annual Hybrid Runner Foundation Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk, benefiting the Cleburne Yellow Jacket XC and track teams.

Here are just a few highlights of our event:

5K Finishers Medals will be awarded to all participants who cross the finish line
