CleftStrong 5k

ABOUT THE RACE

Gates will open for the 2020 CleftStrong Family 5k at 7:30 am on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at Los Patios in support of those born with cleft lip/palate and other craniofacial conditions. Share a fun morning with us along the Salado Creek Greenway trail and San Antonio's well known Los Patios tucked in the center of San Antonio! Racers will enjoy a serene, historic and natural course that will begin and end at Los Patios.  This race is leashed pet, runner, walker, stroller, wheelchair, and family friendly!  It will be professionally timed by Iniquez Athletic Advertising & Promotions (IAAP).  Awards will be presented to the top overall male and female finishers and top three male and female finishers in age categories (70+, 60-69, 50-59, 40-49, 30-39, 20-29, and 19-10).  The CleftStrong Kids Fun Run will begin at 9:30 a.m.  The first 400 runners to cross the 5k finish line will take home a finisher medal.  Kid Fun Run participants will receive a finisher medal and fun awards will be given to the captains of the largest SA 5k team, largest Virtual Race Team and highest fundraising team + the adult and child participant with the best Fiesta costume. Join us for a purple carpet photo opportunity, live DJ and Emcee + so much more!  

Those who can't make it to Los Patios on October 10, 2020 can register as a virtual racer from wherever you are!  Race along with us at your normal running spot and share your experience through social media at #cleftstrong5k.  A race packet will be sent your way complete with this year's awesome race day shirt when you register as a virtual racer by September 10th.  Round up your area's craniofacial community to join together as virtual racers for a chance to win our largest virtual race team prize! 

THE CAUSE

All proceeds raised from the 5k and kids fun run event will benefit the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association's mission to advance patient care and research for individuals affected with cleft lip, palate and other craniofacial anomalies.  Children born with cleft lip and/or palate have the immediate need for proper medical assistance form the moment they are born and a continuation of proper care, varying from one child to the next throughout their developing Years. Your registration will not only sign you up for a memorable morning, but it will also help advance critical cleft/craniofacial research and patient care.  In addition to the funds raised through the CleftStrong 5k and Kid Fun Run this year, CleftStrong will host a Silent Auction benefit supporting local ACPA approved Cleft and Craniofacial clinics that serve families in the craniofacial community across Central and South Texas.  All funds raised through the 2020 silent auction benefit will be combined with all funds raised online through the local charity benefit to serve the local cleft and craniofacial community. 

Thank you for joining!
