Gare di 5K vicino a Gatesville

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. It begins in the morning from the parking lot by the soccer fields and is designed for participation rather than competition: the event is not officially timed, though participants may track their own times using Run Sign-up. 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 5K is timed, with each runner's clock beginning when they cross the timing mats. The 1-mile fun run is untimed and stroller-friendly, suitable for families. All finishers receive medals, donuts are provided post-race, and 5K awards are presented to the overall male and female winners, as well as the top three finishers in age groups from 14 and under to 70+.

The MK Dazzling Dream Team and Central Texas participants convene to fundraise for initiatives addressing women's cancers and domestic violence. The Foundation supports cancer research, clinical trials, awareness campaigns, community outreach, and advocacy, having donated over $98 million to aligned organizations.

Il Rotary Monster Dash si fa a ottobre a 1501 E FM 2410 a Harker Heights, Texas. C'è una 5K e una Little Monster Dash per i bambini, e tutte e due partono la mattina. Questa gara fa parte della CENTEX Race Series, e per la 5K ci sono premi individuali. La gara sfrutta il fatto che è a Halloween con un concorso in maschera per i bambini. I partecipanti alla Little Monster Dash ricevono una goody bag. L'iscrizione costa $25 per la 5K e $5 per la gara dei bambini. I soldi raccolti vanno a sostenere i progetti dei Rotary club locali e l'iniziativa di Rotary International per sradicare la poliomielite, collegando la gara al servizio per la comunità e a un impegno globale per la salute.

The Leatherneck Run takes place in Woodway, Texas, starting at First Woodway Baptist Church on Ritchie Road. It features a 5K run and a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, both beginning in the morning following packet pickup and an opening ceremony. This marks the event's 25th year, giving it the character of a well-established local race with a consistent format, rather than a spontaneous fundraising effort. The course begins at the church's main entrance, proceeding through neighborhood streets adjacent to the church. Parking is available on the west side of the main entrance. Early packet pickup occurs in nearby Waco. All participants receive a finisher medal. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in age groups ranging from 12 and under to 75 and older.

La City of Killeen Turkey Trot 5K è una corsa e camminata a tema festivo che si tiene allo Stonetree Golf Club a Killeen, Texas. La distanza di 5K è perfetta per chi cammina e per i runner meno esperti, e allo stesso tempo offre ai runner del posto una gara cronometrata. L'evento fa parte della Cen-Tex Series ed è una raccolta fondi per il Food Care Center a Killeen. Questo banco alimentare locale fornisce cibo a oltre 2.000 persone ogni settimana, e circa la metà di chi riceve aiuto sono bambini.

La Jingle Bell Dash è una 5K natalizia a Killeen, Texas, con partenza dal Killeen Community Center e che usa l'Andy K. Wells Hike & Bike Trail. La gara parte la mattina con una nuova linea di partenza e arrivo. Segue il format classico di una gara locale: una distanza unica di 5K, ritiro pettorali disponibile prima del giorno della gara e iscrizioni il giorno stesso prima dello start. La gara fa parte della Centex Race Series, il che significa che tutti i partecipanti guadagnano punti per la serie, non solo i primi arrivati. Vengono date medaglie ai vincitori assoluti, uomo e donna, e medaglie di categoria ai primi tre uomini e donne di ogni fascia d'età. I primi 200 che si pre-iscrivono hanno la maglia assicurata, con un numero limitato di maglie disponibili anche il giorno della gara.
