Organiser's Description
Lace up and Ponte las Pilas! Join us for a fun, family-friendly 5K and Fun Run/Walk celebrating community, wellness, and the power of coming together to support the next generation.
Ponte las pilas is a phrase deeply woven into everyday Spanish-speaking culture. Literally translating to put your batteries in, its a playful way of telling someone to wake up, get energized, and get moving. Its the kind of encouragement many of us grew up hearing from a parent, grandparent, teacher, or frienda reminder that when an opportunity comes your way, you have to be ready to take it.
That spirit is at the heart of Firme DFWs mission: helping first-generation students put their batteries in by providing the scholarships, mentorship, and support they need to pursue their goals, build a better future, and make an impact in their communities. Every step in the Ponte las Pilas 5K helps us move that mission forward.
Whether you're chasing a new personal best, getting active with your family, or simply looking for a great way to spend the morning, theres a place for everyone. Run, walk, cheer each other on, and enjoy a day centered around community, connection, and purpose.
