Race Information
Experience a unique opportunity to run the same course as the racehorses - on the racetrack at Retama - all while supporting a local nonprofit. Retama is one of only four live horse racing tracks in our great state of Texas, and you'll be among the first to run where the horses do, on the turf track (see FAQs for terrain details)!
The REAL LIFE 5K and 10K exists to provide a high-quality annual running event, through which the community can come alongside Real Life Community Outreach in their mission. The race features a certified 5k course, professional competitive timing, tech shirts and swag for all participants, Age Group awards, custom finisher medals for all course finishers, and a great post-race party
Real Life Community Outreach is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 whose charitable purpose is to share compassion through food assistance, vocational training, and kids' camps in low-income neighborhoods. All proceeds from this event will go toward the charitable work of Real Life Community Outreach. Learn more at www.reallifeco.org.
