About

Support a Scout, Take on the Challenge!

Join us for an exciting and meaningful fundraising event benefiting Troop 1948, proudly chartered by our friends at Kyle VFW Post 12058. Your participation helps fund unforgettable scouting adventures for our youth!

Choose your challenge:

??‍??️ 5K Run or ??? 5K Ruck Walk — both start at the same time, with separate Overall Male/Female and Age Group awards.

Ruck Walk Rules:

Strap on a backpack with at least 20 pounds of weight — or more if you're up for it! This is a walk-only event (no running!) and works on the honor system. Walk in honor or memory of someone, or simply to prove to yourself that you can do it.

?? Lace up, show up, and make a difference — Troop 1948 needs YOU!

 

NOTE: GPS will send you to a SERVICE GATE which is not the entry to the park. The entry is directly across Stagecoach from Blanco Vista Blvd (coordinates: 29.941196, -97.897705). When you pull into the park entrance and follow the road to the right, pull into the parking lot AFTER the little pavilion at the roadside to park to be closest to the start/finish.

DOG and STROLLER are add ons and mean you will have a bib assigned to your dog or your stroller in addition to your own, which means whoever is running or rucking with the dog or stroller must register also.  A dog or a stroller must be accompanied by a human!  This is for a bib only.
