MTK Run 2026 In Amarillo's Wolflin Neighborhood, July 18

Once July hits in Amarillo, you know exactly what that means: the heat is officially here, summer is in full swing, and one of our community's most heartfelt traditions is fast approaching. The MTK Run is back.

It is a morning I personally look forward to every year, not just for the race, but for the chance to catch up with the incredible Knebusch family. We start early on a Saturday morning, always the third Saturday of the month, which this year lands on July 18, 2026.

The Wolflin Streets around Austin Park come to life with runners, walkers, and kids enjoying the sights and fun. Everyone is there for one cause: helping to put an end to childhood cancer. The MTK Foundation is here to do just that and honor the memory of Madison K Knebush.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, walking with friends, or just showing up for the fun run, we would love to see you there on July 18th! Bring your energy, your smiles, and maybe a little friendly competition because every child deserves brighter days ahead!

Choose Your Way to Participate

The best part of the MTK Run is how inclusive the event is. You have plenty of ways to join in.

For the Competitors: Sign up for the 5k or 10k timed runs; there are medals up for grabs for those chasing a fast finish.
For the Leisurely Crowd: Take a relaxed stroll through the beautiful Wolflin neighborhood with the 1-mile fun run or walk.
For the Sleep-In Crew: If you aren't a morning person, they are officially accepting "sleepwalkers", allowing you to donate and support the foundation from the comfort of your own bed.

However you choose to participate, you will be helping a great foundation help some great kids and families in the Texas Panhandle. Bring the kids out, too, because there is always a bounce house for them to enjoy.

It's a great event that I look forward to every July, and this year we want to see you there too.
