Event summary
Join us for the heartwarming event, Running With Ella, on Saturday, August 23, 2025, in the vibrant city of Austin, Mower. This unique charity run brings together community spirit and joy in a fun-filled atmosphere, celebrating movement in all its forms—whether you're running, walking, skipping, or dancing your way to the finish line. Unlike traditional races, this 5k focuses on the experience rather than competition, with no podium or timers, just plenty of dad jokes, high fives, and music to keep the energy high!
As participants cross the finish line, they'll seamlessly transition into the Austin ArtWorks Festival, making for an unforgettable day of creativity and community. By taking part in Running With Ella, you’re not just enjoying a fantastic event; you’re also contributing to a worthy cause. Funds raised will support the Riverland College Emergency Grant Scholarship, helping students navigate unforeseen financial burdens and empowering them to succeed academically. Celebrate Ella Page's legacy and join us in fostering a supportive environment for young adults. Whether you choose the in-person 5k or the virtual option, your participation makes a difference!

Organiser's Description
Running With Ella is back for round two! As those of you who joined us last year know, this is not quite your typical 5k. We have no podium (though we just might hand out an odd prize or two), or timer. Putting up a lightning fast time at our 5k will not qualify you for the Boston Marathon. But what we do bring to the tablein spades, if we can brag just a littleis the spirit of joy, hope, and community.
We gather on this morning to celebrate movement of any kindwhether that means running, walking, skipping, or dancing your way to the finish line. From dad jokes to high fives to music, we put as much into the _fun_ as we do the _run_ (or walk or dance or...you get it).
Once again this year, our event ends just as one of the most popular annual gatherings in townthe Austin ArtWorks Festivalbegins. Participants will reach the finish line just in time to join in for the Festival kick-off on Saturday morning.
This event is more than just fun, though; by joining us, youre helping to raise money for the Riverland College Emergency Grant Scholarship, which will support students who experience an unforeseen financial burden that would otherwise negatively impact their academic success and possibly even derail their future.
Running With Ella is a charity run lovingly organized by With Ella, Inc. to celebrate the memory of Ella Page. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to support college-aged women and others as they navigate the unique challenges of early adulthoodparticularly those revolving around mental health. We strive to create a safe, uplifting community that empowers young people to break the silence that too often stifles those at lifes starting line, to build resilience, to nurture their mental and physical wellbeing, and to lead healthier, happier lives.
Our event includes both a 5k and virtual 5k, as we hope to include those who can't make the trip to Austin. Please help us celebrate Ella's memory and champion her legacy in giving back to the educational community.
