If you haven't been to Plum Creek before, turn in on Witte and drive all the way down the hill until it T's into McNaughton - you'll see us there...

Prepare for the weather!  Dress for your best race...Wear sunscreen!  Wear white and sunglasses if you plan to be part of the COLOR track.  The color STAINS. :)

Plan to park behind the school or at the Rocking Horse lot.  There will be color at the finish line, park in the lot in front of the school if you don’t mind a powdered car.  Please do not park along McNaughton or between Negley and Rocking Horse on Dickens as this will be part of all three race courses.

On July 4, this new 4-miler event will start and finish at the McNaughton pool and park area of the Plum Creek neighborhood in Kyle, Texas. Participants will walk or run by and through some of the features of this master-planned development, including the pools, the golf course, the walking trail, the newest section of housing, and the playgrounds.

For added fun, this run will include some colored dye, a popular trend in race events. Popsicles, fruit ice and other frozen treats will reward the participants at the finish line.

In addition to the four-mile course, there will also be 3K and 1K options, so there is something for everybody in this family-friendly event.
