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

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.

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.
