About this race

Gabriella’s Smile Foundation is hosting their Annual 5k Cupcake Run presented by Superior Mobile Health on May 16, 2026. This is a family friendly event for everyone and kids ages 0-16 can register as official participants for only $20.  Gabriella’s 5K Cupcake Run is a fun and meaningful annual event that brings the community together to support pediatric cancer families. Hosted by Gabriella’s Smile Foundation, the run takes place on May 16, 2026, and offers participants a chance to run, walk, or stroll through a scenic 5K course—all while honoring the memory of Gabriella and spreading awareness for childhood cancer. What makes this event extra sweet? Every participant gets a delicious cupcake at the finish line! Whether you’re a competitive runner, a casual walker, or just there for the cupcakes, the event is designed for all ages and fitness levels. Families, teams, and individuals come together to celebrate hope, resilience, and community spirit. All proceeds from the event directly benefit pediatric cancer families, helping provide financial assistance, support programs, and resources to those navigating a childhood cancer diagnosis. Join us for a day filled with energy, smiles, and of course—cupcakes!   ABOUT THE RACE Gabriella’s 5k Cupcake Run and Gabriella’s Smile Foundation is named after Gabriella Elise Torres, who was 5 when she battled Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a terminal form of brain cancer. She died just 8 days after her 6th birthday on November 7, 2015. Gabriella’s 5k Cupcake Run is the first of its kind here in the San Antonio community for Brain Tumor Awareness Month, which is in May. It’s the first 5k dedicated exclusively to raising awareness for DIPG and pediatric brain cancer in our community.
