This is the 2nd Annual 5k held by West ISD. The race will be a true 5k that starts and finishes on the West Elementary School drive. While this race is set up for faculty and staff, in conjunction with the district's staff wellness initiatives, the race IS open to any and all runners and competitors.
In an effort to make the shirt ordering go a little smoother than last year we will take 2 separate orders. If registrants are signed up prior to March 2nd their shirts will be available for them at the check in table the day of the race. All other entries, including competitors who enter the day of the race will have their shirt order placed directly following the race and will be available for pick up at DreamFlyPromotions or can be shipped to you. Really wanting to make sure that everyone who enters has the chance to get a shirt. As soon as the new shirt's proof is finalized I will update ethe race page accordingly.
