To benefit the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank, the Food Drive will take place on race day only. The Food Drive collection time will begin at 8:00am inside the Downtown YMCA. To be one of the first 100 registered participants donating, we ask that you form a line if you arrive prior to the 8:00am opening. Recognition gifts will be given at the following check-in station.

Awards

Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers of the 5K. The awards will consist of gift cards from local businesses. Participants of the 1 Mile Fun Run will be entered into a drawing for a prize.
