Every year the Lake Highlands Junior Women’s League hosts a 5K USATF Sanctioned race known as “Run the Highlands” which serves as a family-friendly event that brings the community together — and gives back all at the same time. Local running groups and avid marathoners from all over Dallas bring their families for for the 5k Run and Family Trail Walk through our community and join in for our carnival after the race.

The funds we raise from your race registration, donation and/or sponsorship are given directly back to Lake Highlands. This year, our philanthropy project will refresh and expand a local park's playground area so even more children can enjoy playing outside. We are also proud to announce that, along with sponsors and partners,we are bringing the first handicap accessible swing to Dallas at Flag Pole Hill Park. As Lake Highlands continues to grow, the parks our kids love should meet their needs with fresh and inclusive play spaces that make our community beautiful.
