SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A RACE, the 2026 Honor Connor 5k and Smile Mile is a full-fledged celebration. Known as the happiest race in DFW, more than 1000 runners join this high-energy event that celebrates the life of Connor Kelly Gage, a 15-year old freshman who lost his life to a preventable lake drowning in 2012. This USATF-certified, family-friendly race features a flat, scenic course that winds its way around a beautiful lake and the enchanting homes in Hometown, North Richland Hills, TX. The run benefits The LV Project, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to drowning prevention and living buoyantly. You'll find lots of miles. And even more smiles. Join us!
