3rd Annual Run for the Heights 

Warm-up. Run a 5K. Get a massage. Watch a fitness demo. Visit Sponsors.  Go to Health Fair. Get cholesterol checked.  Participants did all this and more at the 3rd Annual Run for the Heights,  5K Run/Walk, Kids’ Fun Run, & Health Fair, held at Tuscany Heights Elementary, a Texas Exemplary School. 

Over 1,000 registered runners and walkers from all over San Antonio participated in Run for the Heights, a fun and exciting morning of health and wellness!

Emcee, Delaine Mathieu, WOAI News Anchor and Reporter, kicked off the event with pre-race warm-ups and the Opening Ceremony. Close to 300 kids of all ages ran the ¾ mile Fun Run.  The chip-timed 5K followed with over 600 runners and walkers weaving through the challenging and hilly course on neighboring roads. 

Congratulations to all the Fun Run and 5K Finishers!  Special congratulations to our top male, Japheth Ng'Ojoy, with a time of 16:43 (a 5:24 pace) and our top female, Lisa Welsh, with a time of 18:43 (a 6:02 pace).  Click on the Race Results and Awards tab to see the awardees and their awesome rewards.

After the races, participants visited our Sponsor Expo & Health Fair to receive valuable information, get health screenings, and sample nutritional supplements.  Exposure to various types of fitness were also revealed at the exciting Fitness Demonstrations by the Jumping Dragons, Stone Oak CrossFit, Victory Martial Arts, and Acrobatic Gymnastics of San Antonio.

Overall, Run for the Heights promoted health and wellness to participants of all ages.  All proceeds benefit the Tuscany Heights Elementary PTA, a 501(c)3 charitable organization.
