Event Description

The Wildflower Run is more than just a race—it's a celebration of youth, nature, and family connection set against the breathtaking backdrop of Pace Bend Park. Imagine a day where children of all ages and abilities come together to discover the joy of movement, the beauty of the Hill Country, and the power of personal achievement.

Unlike traditional races, our event embraces every child's unique journey. From the tiniest 2-year-old taking their first competitive steps to confident 12-year-olds pushing their limits, we've designed distances that make every participant feel like a champion. Our carefully crafted race lengths ensure that each child can challenge themselves while experiencing the pure joy of running.

What makes the Wildflower Run truly special is our commitment to creating memories, not just measuring miles. Each participant receives a free digital book, transforming the race from a simple athletic event into an educational adventure. Families will run together, support each other, and create lasting memories against the stunning natural landscape of Pace Bend Park.

We believe fitness should be fun, inclusive, and inspiring. Our 2K Fun Run/Walk welcomes everyone, proving that movement is for every body and every age. Whether you're a seasoned young athlete or taking your first running steps, this is your moment to shine.

Beyond the race, you're joining a community. You're teaching children that fitness is a celebration, that personal growth happens one step at a time, and that family support can make any challenge surmountable. The Wildflower Run isn't just an event—it's a milestone in your family's journey of health, connection, and adventure.
