Miles for a Match 5k
About the Event
Join us for the Miles for a Match 5K, hosted by the Texas State University chapter of Mu Epsilon Delta (MED) in collaboration with Gift of Life, an organization dedicated to helping patients battling blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma find life-saving bone marrow and stem cell donors.
This event brings together students, families, runners, and community members to raise awareness and support for those searching for a donor match. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are welcome to run, jog, or walk the 3.1-mile course.
A portion of the proceeds will support Gift of Life’s mission to grow the bone marrow registry and give hope to patients in need of a life-saving match.
Run with purpose. Walk with hope. Help someone find their match
Join fellow runners on August 22, 2026 for the Miles for a Match 5k. It's a fantastic 5K featuring a flat and fast course in San Marcos.
