The racecourse for the Best 5K on the Brazos is a flat and scenic course that runs along the Brazos River from Indian Spring Park.

Take this opportunity to possibly set a personal record for the 5K.

This is the target race for the Waco Women's Training Program. So, please come out and support them as this will be the first 5K race for many of them.

The 5K awards will include medals for the top overall male and female and for the first 3 male and female finishers in 5 yr. age categories from 14 and under to 65 and over.

Note: Dogs are not allowed on the course for insurance and safety reasons.
