GreenFest on the Greenbelt

GreenFest on the Greenbelt Race Information

<p>GreenFest on the Greenbelt is an event centered around health, wellness, and recreation. There will be food and activities for the whole family including food trucks, vendors, and music. The walks/runs are not your everyday 5K, 10K or 1Mile Fun Run. They are special because of the surroundings and the unique experience in the festival area. The 1 Mile Fun Run will be around the festival area for all of the spectators to enjoy. The 5K is a good introduction to off-road running/walking. The course will be almost entirely off-road and will take you along the beautiful Greenbelt Trail, across the historic Elm Fork Bridge, and introduce you to the equestrian trails. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome. The 10K is for those who are a little more adventurous and serves as a good introduction to trail running/walking. There will be sections that are a little more technical than the traditional Greenbelt surface. For all distances, dogs on a leash are welcome to join but we do not allow strollers due to the amount of the course that is unpaved.<br />GreenFest on the Greenbelt is presented by The Greenbelt Alliance of Denton County, A 501(c)3 nonprofit. We are a community-based, volunteer organization that fosters awareness of the Greenbelt. The goal of this event is to raise funds for the Texas State Parks and Wildlife Department. The funds we donate are kept local and used to improve the Greenbelt as well as Ray Roberts Lake State Park<br />All participants of the 10K and 5K will receive a swag-bag with sponsor goodies, event t-shirt, finisher medal and finish line refreshments.<br />The 10K and 5K will have prizes for the top 3 overall male and female finishers as well as top 3 male and female finishers in the following age groups:<br />14 &amp; under<br />15-24<br />25-34<br />35-44<br />45-54<br />55-64<br />65 &amp; over<br /><br />There will be a pre-race packet pick up on Friday, April 10 from 5:00-7:00 P.M. at the race site.
