Aid via Action 5K
Aid via Action is an annual running event held on September 25, 2027 at Bachman Lake Park in Dallas, Texas (3500 W Northwest Hwy, 75220). The event includes an in-person 5K race and a virtual run option that can be completed at any location.
The event’s stated purpose is to raise awareness of global health access and to support delivery of surgical care in Guatemala. The mission focuses on minimizing disparities in surgical care between low-income and high-income countries and strengthening resources at specific sites in Northern Guatemala so local physicians can provide care with competence and compassion.
Virtual participants may complete the distance by walking, running outdoors, or using a treadmill, and may submit proof such as screenshots from fitness apps or photos of treadmill results. Virtual entrants receive race t-shirts and finisher medals by mail after the race.
Event logistics include packet pickup at the local Playtri store prior to race day and packet pickup at the race site on the morning of the event. The 5K is chip timed with disposable timing chips attached to bibs. Course rules note that pets are not allowed on the course, strollers are permitted, and scooters, roller or inline skates, and bicycles are not allowed in sanctioned events. The minimum age for participation is six years. Awards are given to overall and masters winners and in 10 year age groups from 15 and under through 80 plus. Entry fees are non refundable and non transferable; the organizer may modify or cancel the event for safety or other production concerns.
