Customize your page by selecting the layout and style that work best for you. Utilize the elements of text, photo and status indicators to their fullest advantage.

Setting your personal page to Private means your name will not appear in the participant search list, and only people you personally invite will be able to support you.

General Questions

Can you guarantee my team its T-shirt sizes?
We do our best! We order shirts based on previous years’ registration numbers by size. Despite our best efforts we do run out occasionally of some sizes. If you get your registrations submitted in a timely fashion and pick your team packets up as soon as possible, chances are we will be able to fill your order as requested.

What about strollers, pets and inline skates?
Strollers are permitted. For the safety of all participants, inline skates and pets are not allowed. Thank you for your cooperation.

How do I enter the 5K Competitive Run?
Participants in the 5K Competitive Run must have a ChampionChip timing piece which is included in the registration fee. ChampionChip timing allows your personal time to begin when you cross the starting line after the starting gun sounds. Time is calculated precisely and results for awards will be based on the chip time. Chips can be picked up on Race day at the ChampionChip Tent. Failure to return the chip at the race or to any Luke’s Locker within 3 days will incur a charge.

What happens in event of rain?
The event will occur rain or shine. We reserve the right to cancel in extreme circumstances. In that event there will be no refunds. Your entry fee will be used as a donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Tarrant County Affiliate.

Where do I park?
Free parking is available in the City Center Garages with entrances located on Commerce, Calhoun, Jones Streets and 3rd and 4th Streets. Please allow time for traffic – 19,000 participants are expected at the race!
