Event Description
The Waxahachie Running Club is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that promotes running and walking in Ellis County, which is south of Dallas, TX. We are a friendly, family-oriented group that welcomes all levels; from beginners in our 5k training program up to competitive marathoners, ultra-marathoners, trail-runners and triathletes. Our goal is to bring runners and walkers together encouraging safe, friendly fun-runs. Started in June of 2011 we have grown to over 1800 members and host group runs or training weekly.
On May 4th, 2019, we are joining with the Waxahachie Lion's Club to host this race. This year's event will benefit the Waxahachie Lion's Club, which supports local children and schools in Ellis County.
