TRINITY 5000 SUMMER SERIES INFO
We encourage all participants to preregister online before the event each week to be guaranteed entry and to eliminate standing in a crowded line to register. Also, after 250 participants have registered each week, online registration will close until the next race. Therefore, we strongly recommend registering online as soon as possible.
Participants who register for the complete series will use the same unique sturdy custom bib each week to eliminate standing in crowded lines each week for a new bib.

Post-Race Festivities
It’s a summer tradition. Runners and race walkers from all over the Metroplex gather on Thursday evenings in Downtown Fort Worth to run and walk 5000 meters ( 5K or 3.1 miles). Whether you are a competitive runner, mid-pack runner, jogger, or walker everyone has a good time.
See some old friends and make new ones. It’s the summer place for active people and way cooler than television reruns. It’s also a family event with a free 1K Kids Fun Run.
After the race, adults can meet informally under the trees for the infamous Arbor Society (formerly the Bridge Club). We don’t plant trees or collect leaves, but socialize and exaggerate our running abilities. Bring your lawn chair and cooler.
