🏃♂️ Event Overview
Goya Foods is your presenting sponsor for the fourth annual Britta's Chase 5K in the Wild - a race run inside San Antonio’s award winning Zoo! This 5K celebrates Meant to Soar, a non profit 501 (c)(3). The animals are normally more active during this time of the morning because it isn't so hot!

- Bonus Rewards: The winner of the race will win $300 if the male runner finishes under 15:15 and the female runner finishes under 18:15.
👶 Fun Kids Dash
This year we return our fun race called the "Fun Kids Dash" for little ones who are 5 and under. This quarter mile loop dash will be a perfect way for your little ones to have a great experience with lots of people wildly cheering them on!
- Medals for All: There will be gold, silver, and bronze medals given to the first three finishers and finisher medals to everyone else!
- Entry Fee: The entry fee for this "dash" is $10.
🌈 Mission and Purpose
Meant To Soar supports children - who through no fault of their own, have experienced trauma from parental drug/alcohol addiction, or scarring from human trafficking. At Meant To Soar, our mission is to see these children not only survive the critical developmental years, but to be over-comers and to soar in the fullness as they were created.
- High Flying Kites: Every participant in Britta's Chase will receive a Meant to Soar high flying kite!
🐾 Fun Course Experience
There will be plenty of signage and course marshals inside the zoo to make sure that you stay on course! This is a really fun course with music, water misters, animals watching you run, lights in the trees, and elite runners passing the recreational ones to collect the cash first!
