Miles for Meals 5K

The Miles for Meals 5K Run, held in Eastland, Texas, benefits the Eastland Meals on Wheels program, which delivers over 60,000 meals annually to seniors and homebound residents. The event includes a 5K race and a Kids Fun Run/Walk, both welcoming runners and walkers. The race starts at Siebert Elementary School and is part of the Eastland Chamber of Commerce's Ripfest, a festival celebrating the city's famous horned toad.

Medals are awarded to 5K age group winners, while all kids' run finishers receive ribbons. Teams of five or more can register at a discounted rate, with special awards for the largest school and business teams. After the race, participants can enjoy Ripfest festivities including a parade, car show, live music, games, crafts, and food booths. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
