17th Annual 5K For Coppell Special Olympics

The 5K For Coppell Special Olympics is a community run held at Andy Brown East Park in Coppell, Texas. It features a timed 5K and a 1-mile Fun Run. Get You In Shape hosts the event. Runners seeking a timed result can participate in the 5K, while families, walkers, and younger participants have the shorter Fun Run option. The race begins and ends at the park area, located at 260 E Parkway Boulevard. Its primary purpose is local fundraising, with proceeds benefiting the Coppell Special Olympics Teams. The event provides approximately 90% of their annual funding. This financial support helps cover costs such as letter jackets, uniforms, equipment, and event fees, directly linking the race to the athletes it serves.
