{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Chip Gaines ran a half-marathon over the weekend and was even helped across the finish line by his 11-year-old daughter, Ella, and his 10-month-old son, Crew.
His wife, Joanna Gaines, posted pictures of the 44-year-old former “Fixer Upper” star and other runners in the Silo District Half Marathon in Waco, Texas, on Instagram Sunday evening. The race was hosted by the couple’s lifestyle company, Magnolia.

So many of you would tell me who you were running in honor of and I was literally teary eyed the entire time.”
According to her post, the race raised $300,000 for cancer research and the Brave Like Gabe foundation, which supports cancer survivors.
Joanna included several photos in her post, including one where she high-fived a runner and another where Chip crossed the finish line with Ella beside him while pushing a stroller holding Crew.

“Finally, thank you to the city of Waco and all the law enforcement, volunteers and sponsors that helped make this event possible. We hope to see you next year at the #silodistrictmarathon,” she ended the caption.

“Alright y’all!! This is what I’m bringing. What stuff you got in your #siloDistrictMarathon pack? Win or Lose here’s to all the personal records, all the personal bests. All the nice try’s, and we’ll get em next year. But most importantly, here’s to all the folks that can’t be here today because they’re having to focus all their energy on their personal battles with cancer,” Chip wrote in part.
Earlier this month, the HGTV stars were counted among the most influential people on the annual TIME 100 list.
