Trail Day 5K Raises $18K For Local Nonprofits

Trinity Falls hosted the Third Annual Trail Day 5K raising over $18,000 for three North Texas nonprofits.

Johnson Development believes that vibrant communities do more than provide homes - they inspire connection, celebrate life, and foster a spirit of giving back. This past Saturday was a shining example of that belief in action as Trinity Falls by Johnson Development proudly hosted the 3rd Annual Trinity Falls Trail Day 5K in celebration of National Trails Day. The event raised over $18,000 which was awarded to local North Texas nonprofits. This year’s beneficiaries were Alliance of Elite Youth Leadership (AEYL), Warriors’ Keep, and YMCA of McKinney.

Under beautiful skies, more than 600 runners, walkers, plus their families and friends joined together for a joyful morning filled with movement, nature, and purpose. The scenic race route guided participants around the paved trails of Trinity Falls beautiful master-planned community traversing the 350-acre natural park with miles of winding, wooded river frontage where families explore and become one with nature. Trinity Falls chose June 7 to align with National Trails Day, a nationwide event held to encourage people to discover their local trails and celebrate spending time outdoors.

Every participant in the 5K received a medal, while trophies and cash prizes were awarded in multiple categories. After the race, families were encouraged to stay and enjoy a variety of local outdoors, recreation and fitness vendors, a disc golf demonstration, music, photo-ops, and food trucks. Children enjoyed story time with Ms. Bug and participated in a ladybug release. Visit https://www.trinityfalls.com/ to learn more about Trinity Falls.
