One hundred sixty-nine participants from Germany, Costa Rica, Washington, Arizona, Illinois, Missouri, and right here in Texas joined Empower 7’s inaugural 5K Race and 1-Mile Fun Run on June 26th – either in person or virtually.

“Our 1^st Annual 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run was a huge success, thanks to the support from our sponsors and the dedication of our Event Chair, Vida Valk, and the entire Empower7 team,” said Melanie Cobb, Empower 7’s President and Founder. “Everyone pulled together to make our first 5K one to always remember. We are looking forward to our next 5K in 2022.”
