Run for Cover The 16th Annual Run for Cover is Saturday, April 9 at Craig Ranch beginning at 7:45 a.m. Run for Cover is family fun! We have food, music from KLAK and events for the kids. Some participants come to set a personal best at their chosen distance, but many come to walk, push a stroller or pull a wagonload of kids. Some even bring their dogs—all are welcome. The event is hosted each year by 3e McKinney (3emckinney.com). The race benefits Shiloh Place and Samaritan Inn, who provide shelter to those in need in our community. Run for Cover is the oldest 5K run in McKinney. The event began at Towne Lake in 2001 and later moved to Stonebridge Ranch and expanded to include a 10K and a 1K Fun Run. We make our home now at Craig Ranch Registration and the start-finish line are at the Play-Tri store across from the McKinney Veterans Memorial in Craig Ranch. You can register online to participate or volunteer at: https://3emckinney. com/run-for-cover/. u
