Description

The 3rd Annual LOVE NEVER ENDS TRAIL RUN is back for our biggest year yet! Join us for a weekend of outdoor adventure and community spirit at Erwin Park, spanning over 200 acres, known for its ten miles of unique and challenging running, hiking, and biking trails!

Choose your challenge from race options for every skill level: 5k, 15k, 30k, or 50k. Erwin Park offers a mix of open single-track trails winding through wooded areas, open fields, and technical rolling hills, with elevation gains ranging from over 700 ft. for the 15k to over 1400 ft. for the 30k, and over 2100 ft. for the 50k. Our courses offer scenic and thrilling challenges. 

This year, our event will take place over two days – 

Day One- Saturday, September 28th, we will have our 5k
Day Two- Sunday, September 29th, we will have our 15k, 30k, 50k

*Ticket Prices are $55 (5k), $75 (15k), $95 (30k), 50k ($115)

This event isn't just about the thrill of the run — your participation makes a difference! Proceeds from the Love Never Ends Trail Run support The Great Root Movement, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals in need. Your participation directly contributes to The RIZE Scholarship for bereaved mothers and victims of domestic abuse, enabling them to access vital therapy services and programs. The Reagan and Grant Small Endowed Memorial Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to high school seniors.

Our incredible group of volunteers strives to ensure that each participant and attendee feels the love in our community and is inspired to make a positive difference! In our third year, we've gained popularity in the DFW Community, and we've expanded our race to include all skill levels, from 5k to 50k ultra runners over two days. Your participation as a sponsor would be sincerely appreciated, and it's a great way to promote community spirit,  your company, and your products.  Thank you for your time and consideration.

Here are a few quotes from our participants: 

 "This event was more than a race - it was a meeting of community, healing, and hope. We could feel it from the moment we arrived!"

"It was so inspirational. Thank you for reintroducing us to running!"

"What a great day! No matter what level we participated in, we all felt like we were on the same team, cheering for one another."

"I've suffered from domestic violence, severe depression, and suicidal behavior in my past, and Karen and The Great Root Movement demonstrates hope, love, and the rebuilding of lives."

"What a great community event, so much fun and togetherness! A true spirit of love and hope were in the air."
