Great 5k to run with some friends and enjoy the ambience post race.
About this race
The Tex Mex 5K Race for Open Space is a long-running weeknight road race in North Wales benefiting Wissahickon Trails. Starting from Tex Mex Connection, the 5K runs through the residential borough on a mostly flat course with strong local crowd support, making it a good fit for both PR-focused runners and first-time racers. The event pairs a fast, community-centered race with a post-race Tex Mex buffet, live music, and refreshments.
Course notes
This is a 5K road race through residential North Wales. Runners should expect a fast but turn-heavy neighborhood layout rather than a straight, uninterrupted course.
Getting there
Parking is limited. The organizer specifically says there is no parking at Tex Mex Connection, in neighboring lots, or along the race course. Use posted temporary parking signs when entering North Wales and check the race map for approved parking areas.
