Miles for Meals 5K Run/Walk and Kids 1K Fun Run
The 17th Annual Miles for Meals event takes place at Water’s Edge Park in Corpus Christi, Texas. This athletic gathering features a variety of options for participants of different ages, focusing on running and walking activities. The main event is a 5 km race on a course officially certified by USA Track & Field (Certification # TX22054LAB). Because it is a certified course, official times are recognized and can be utilized for ranking purposes.
Participants can choose from the following event distances:
- 5 km Run
- 5 km Walk
- 1 km Kids Fun Run
The 5 km events are open to both adults and youth aged 5-18. The Kids 1 km Fun Run is specifically designed for children aged 8 years and under. All participants in the 5 km events utilize disposable timing chips to track their progress.
The event concludes with an awards ceremony held at the park. Recognition is given to the first-place male and female finishers in the overall category, master category (40-49), and grand masters category (60+). Additionally, first, second, and third-place awards are provided for both male and female participants across various age groups ranging from 6 to 70 years and older.
Packet pick-up is organized at the Coastal Bend Food Bank on the Friday before the race, with a secondary pick-up window available at Water’s Edge Park on the afternoon of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
