Leo Aguilar Foundation 5K Walk/Run Set Oct. 17
- Updated: September 25, 2015
Hundreds of participants are expected to participate in the 4th Annual Leo Aguilar Foundation and Los Fresnos CISD 5K Walk/Run for Fun Saturday, Oct. 17, at Leo Aguilar Stadium.
Proceeds from the race will go to the Leo Aguilar General Scholarship Fund, which has awarded scholarships to Los Fresnos High School graduates for many years.
A free community health fair sponsored by Los Fresnos CISD Parental Involvement Office is scheduled jointly, with at least 25 health fair professionals already registered. Free health screenings and nutritional information will be available from 8-11 a.m.
The race begins at 8 a.m. by the south entrance to the stadium. Early registration is encouraged; late registration begins at 7 a.m.
Entry fee is $10 for adults and $5 for students with four non-perishable food bank items. The first 100 paid entries will receive a free event t-shirt.
Awards will be presented to the top overall male and female participant, as well as the top three finishers in 11 age categories, starting with 6-10 years of age to 80 years and higher. Other age group categories include 70-79, 60-69, 50-59, 40-49, 31-39, 26-30, 19-25, 15-18, 11-14, and 6-10 years of age.
The 3.1-mile walk/run begins at Leo Aguilar Stadium and continues east down Texas Highway 100. For a stretch of 1.2 miles during the event, the four-lane highway is reduced to two lanes. The westbound lanes are closed as walkers and runners go east to St. Cecilia’s Church, where they will turn around and head west back to the stadium.
