Running With Ella is not your typical 5k. There is no podium and no timer; these miles are open to the celebration of all movement on footwhether that means running, walking, skipping, or dancing your way to the finish line. In fact, we are so determined to put the fun in fun run that we made sure to collaborate with one of the most popular annual gatherings in Austinthe Austin ArtWorks Festival. Runners and walkers 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 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 women 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 inaugural event includes both a 5k and virtual 5k, as we hope to include those who can't make the trip to Austin this year. Please help us celebrate Ella's memory and champion her legacy in giving back to the educational community.
