Unleash Your Alpha 5k is a running race on January 30, 2027 in Mcallen, TX, with entry fees from $10 to $25.
The Unleash Your Alpha 5K is more than just a race. It’s an opportunity to bring our community together through fitness while making a difference in the lives of local children.
Through our Project Strong Start initiative, proceeds from this event will benefit two local elementary schools in the Rio Grande Valley, helping provide much-needed sports and physical education equipment such as footballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, jump ropes, and other fitness essentials.
Our goal is to give students more opportunities to stay active, build confidence, develop teamwork, and discover the importance of a healthy lifestyle at a young age.
By bringing together the running, bodybuilding, and fitness communities, we’re not just promoting health and wellness. We’re investing in the next generation.
Two Schools. One Community. A Stronger Future.
