Britta's Chase 5K @ Morgan's Wonderland

About the Event

Goya Foods is your presenting sponsor for the fourth annual Britta's Chase 5K celebrating FREEDOM 250 - a race run inside San Antonio’s award winning Morgan's Wonderland! This 5K celebrates Meant to Soar, a non profit 501 (c)(3).

Serious runners grab serious cash! Walkers and joggers, enjoy beautiful surroundings in their morning routines! We will award customized finisher medals, along with special medals for different age groups and the top three performers in both male and female categories. Britta's Chase is a unique event. Also, back by popular demand is our "cash chase challenge!" $100 bills will be handed out during the race at the 1 and 2 mile markers to the male and female runners who are currently in the lead. Additionally, the winner of the race will win $300 if the male runner finishes under 15:15 and the female runner finishes under 18:15. Come have some fun while you chase down some cash!

This year we return our fun race called the "Fun Kids Dash" for little ones who are 5 and under. This quarter mile loop dash will be a perfect way for your little ones to have a great experience with lots of people wildly cheering them on! There will be gold, silver, and bronze medals given to the first three finishers and finisher medals to everyone else! The entry fee for this "dash" is $10.

Meant To Soar supports children - who through no fault of their own, have experienced trauma from parental drug / alcohol addiction, or scarring from human trafficking. At Meant To Soar, our mission is to see these children not only survive the critical developmental years, but to be over-comers and to soar in the fullness as they were created. Just as kites are meant to soar, every child has been created by God to soar in life. Every participant in Britta's Chase will receive a Meant to Soar high flying kite!

There will be plenty of signage and course marshals inside and outside the park to make sure that you stay on course! This is a really fun course with music, gorgeous amenities as you run, and elite runners passing the recreational ones to collect the cash first!
