The Fools Run 5K and 10K on the Beach

Come and Fool around with us on the best beach in Texas for a 2-Day event! We encourage you to bring your family and friends and dress up in your most foolish costume as you tackle the 5k and/or 10K course! A portion of proceeds will be benefiting Walk for Women, Inc. a non-profit organization that benefits women in the lower Rio Grande Valley by providing financial, prosthetic and diagnostic support as they battle breast cancer.

Join us on Friday April 5th to pick up your packet and enjoy a complimentary Wellness Fair from local health & wellness businesses. Make sure to stay for our Music & Margaritas Mixer, you don't wanna miss this one!
