Goya Cares is your presenting sponsor for the first annual Britta's Chase 5K in the Wild - a race run entirely inside San Antonio’s award winning Zoo! This 5K launches the Meant to Soar Foundation, a non profit 501 (c)(3).
Serious runners grab serious cash! Walkers and joggers, enjoy animals in their morning routines! We will award unique Texas-shaped 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. Our entire 5K will be run in the zoo. Also, we are introducing a "cash chase challenge!" $100 bills will be handed out during the race at the 1, 2, and 3.1 (finish) mile markers to the male and female runners who are currently in the lead. Additionally, extra $100 bills will be given to each male who runs under 16 minutes and each female who runs under 19 minutes. Come have some fun while you chase down some cash!
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.
Fractures of the heart often surface once safe in a child’s new safe environment. Through Meant To Soar, our challenge 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 be given a Meant to Soar kite.
There will be three laps all inside the zoo with plenty of signage and course marshals to make sure that you stay on course! This is a really fun course with music, water misters, animals watching you run, lights in the trees, and elite runners passing the recreational ones to collect the cash first!
