There’s nothing like the beginning of fall. The weather starts to get cooler, the leaves start to change colors, and we all get settled back into our routines. The autumn season always motivates me to get outside and get active. What better way to combine the two than an outdoor 5K?
Not only are 5Ks a great way to stay active, but they very often raise money and awareness for great causes.
I’ve compiled a list of upcoming 5Ks in Collin County this fall with something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner, an experienced runner, or just looking for something outdoors for the whole family to enjoy. I’ve also included links with more information and ways to sign up.
