Captain "D" Dash for "Sight" is a 5K run/walk in Belton, Texas, hosted by the Belton Lions Club to start LIONS on the LEON.

The route proceeds down Park Avenue, circles through the neighborhood, and returns along Park Avenue to the Heritage Park parking lot, where awards and photos are part of Picnic in the Park. Awards are given to adult men and women, boys and girls age 11 and under, and the best pirate costumes, with first through third places in each category. Registered 5K participants receive a custom commemorative spinner medal, and entrants also get a "Booty" Bag plus a bib raffle entry.

The CASA Color Run is a 5K in Waco, Texas, and race #3 in the Waco Run Tour. It starts in the morning, uses the color-run format, and is built for runners and walkers of all levels rather than just people chasing a fast time. Entry for the 5K is listed at $35, and each participant gets a dri-fit shirt plus the third medal in the Waco Run Tour set. The race raises money for CASA of McLennan County, which recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who advocate for children in foster care. It is a rain-or-shine event, with severe weather moving everyone into a virtual 5K instead. If someone registers and cannot attend, their payment still goes to CASA McLennan County, so the charity piece stays central even when race-day plans change.
