About

Many of us have been positively impacted by a coach, a teacher, or a mentor, who gave selflessly in order to help us reach a better version of ourselves.  Whether it be through sports, school groups, hobbies, we had someone who helped instill a passion in us that stuck with us through adulthood. Coach's Big High 5k gives us all an opportunity to give back, say thanks, do something in remembrance, or join together with others who are grateful for their "Coach".  

We encourage you to invite your coach - high school coach, current mentor, life coach, college advisor, teacher from the past or present - to join you at the 2nd Annual Coach's Big High 5K!  We hope to see you, and your family and your coach or special person, at Five Mile Dam Park!

 

Proceeds from this event will go to https://www.thsca.com/foundation

 

SPECIAL CHALLENGE:  Mitch Royer of White Label Tours (one of our generous sponsors) says for anyone who beats him to the finish line, he'll pay $1 to Dripping with Hope - a new program that gets food into the hands of students and families over the weekend for those who depend on school lunch programs.  Dripping With Hope launched in November and fees 131 kids each week at 7 of the 8 Dripping Springs ISD schools.
