Ignite Hope 5K set for Sept. 12 in New Home - KCBD
The second annual Ignite Hope 5K is scheduled for Sept.
Organized by Restored Hope, the event lets participants run, walk, or ruck a 5K course starting at 9 a.m. The entry fee covers both the race and a T-shirt, though anyone who registers by Sept. 1 is guaranteed to get one. Sign-up is available online by scanning a QR code on event materials.
Proceeds go toward counseling scholarships, mental health support, and church and community partnerships across West Texas. Restored Hope, established in 2026, says the race is designed to raise awareness and provide support for individuals and families dealing with mental wellness challenges. New Home is about 30 miles east of Lubbock, putting this one just outside the city but well within the region it aims to serve.
For folks in Lubbock who want to support mental health resources nearby, this is a straightforward option, whether they lace up to race or just show up to walk. The entry fee stays the same regardless of when you register, so the only real deadline is Sept. 1 if you want the shirt locked in.
This is the race's second year, which means at least one person thought the first one was worth repeating.
