Texas Strong 5k Fundraiser

🏃‍♂️ Run for a Cause: Texas Strong 5k

Lace up your running shoes and join us in supporting our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country. The Texas Strong 5k is a fun-filled event for runners, walkers, families, and even our furry friends. Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or simply want to enjoy a leisurely stroll with loved ones, we have options for you! Pick from a paved or trail option. These 3.1-mile courses offer a beautiful setting to get active and make a difference. The 5K will be professionally chip-timed by Split Second Productions.

🌟 Highlights

• Scenic Route: Experience the beauty of San Antonio's outdoors as you navigate the carefully planned course through McAllister Park.
• Support a Worthy Cause: Every step you take and every dollar you raise directly benefits the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and those affected by the recent flooding.
• Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Bring the whole family – kids and strollers are welcome! Please plan to start in the back if you are running/walking with a stroller.
• Pet-Friendly Event: Well-behaved and leashed dogs are also encouraged to join the fun. Please be mindful that the road course will be an out and so your furry friend must stay on a short leash close to you.

🎉 Celebrate with Us

Following the race, enjoy cold beverages from Karbach Brewing, 21 and up only. Join the event on Sunday, August 10th at 7:30am at McAllister Park, pavilion 5, to positively impact the lives of those impacted by the recent Hill Country flooding. Together, we can help those areas rebuild.
