2024 was the inaugural running of this 5k in Jacksonville, TX. The race is in support of a very important purpose, supporting foster kids and their families.
The race was put together well. The Race Director, Kayla and the rest of the ITRI365 team had everything under control. I certainly recommend if you are in the area and have a chance to support a great cause, come run this race.
I live about 2.5 hours away, so I was not able to go to early packet pickup. I can’t speak to that part. Day of packet pickup was no problem. The day of the race was drizzly rain and very high humidity.
Pre-race was typical with a kids dash, national anthem, and standard lineup. The course was almost entirely flat, the only inclines/declines were where the streets gradually went up or down. The course was good, through a few neighborhoods of Jacksonville. The only downside was the course wasn’t fully closed, so there were cars on occasion.
The race shirt is a nice cotton shirt for the race. The finisher medal is a nice design. Overall, I would run the race again!
