The Community Action Poverty Simulation breaks down stereotypes by allowing participants to step into the real life situations of others. This simulation allows individuals to walk a month in the shoes of someone who is facing poverty and realize how complex and interconnected issues of poverty really are.

Participants will take on the role of a member of a family facing a variety of challenging but typical circumstances. Each family is given a card explaining its unique circumstances and then tasked with finding food, shelter, and other basic necessities by accessing various community resources.

ALL RACES HAVE REACHED CAPACITY!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS THE BIGGEST COWTOWN IN HISTORY!

The Cowtown Marathon has a proud 48-year history that began in 1979 with two race events, the 10K and Full Marathon. In 1998, the event grew to include a 5K, which quickly became a favorite with over 5,000 participants in its inaugural year. By 2003, the Kids 5K was introduced, appealing to families and children, followed by the addition of the Half Marathon in 2005. The final race distance, the Ultra Marathon, was added in 2008, marking a major milestone of 30 years of Cowtown.

As the largest multi-event race in North Texas, we’ve experienced record-breaking registration numbers, but we never forget that our runners have played a key role in our success. In 2009, we launched The C.A.L.F. (Children’s Activities for Life and Fitness) Program, focused on promoting health and fitness in local communities. This initiative, which spans 16 school districts and serves about 5,000 students each year, provides grants for brand-new running shoes to low-income children and offers discounted race entries for youth participants. In 2019, the program celebrated its 10th anniversary, and to date, Cowtown has donated over 65,000 pairs of shoes and helped thousands of students cross their first 5K finish line.

Join us for a festive star-spangled spin around the Fort Worth as we honor America’s 250th birthday in true Rahr Running Club style! This July social run/walk is our red-white-and-brew salute to 250 years of independence — because nobody really knows how to pronounce semiquincentennial, but we definitely know how to celebrate it. We’ll log some miles, share some laughs, and toast to freedom with cold brews and breakfast alongside our trusty pace leaders.

As always, this monthly Rahr Brewing Company Running Club social run/walk is your laid-back training ground for the legendary Oktoberfest 5K — the perfect mix of fitness, fun, and post-run cheers. Run it fast, stroll it proud, and raise a glass to 250 years! USA!
