Step Up for Seniors 5K

The Step Up for Seniors 5K is a community run hosted at the Hood County Senior Center in Granbury, Texas, offering both a 5K and a 1 Mile option. The 5K begins at 8:30 a.m., with the 1 Mile starting at 8:35, accommodating runners, walkers, families, and those preferring a shorter distance. The race supports the Senior Center's daily meals, activities, social events, and its Meals on Wheels program for older adults in Hood County. The event centers on the Senior Center, with packet pickup and race-morning registration conducted there. Proceeds help combat senior isolation and food insecurity, with the Meals on Wheels program delivering over 1,000 meals weekly. All participants receive a medal, 5K awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in age groups from 9 and under to 70 and over, and 1 Mile finishers get age-group ribbons. Leashed pets are permitted, aligning with the event's relaxed, local atmosphere.
