About the We Love Teachers 5K - Dallas-Fort Worth
The course runs through Gateway Park in Fort Worth, a setting that keeps things open and relatively flat. The race is part of a national simultaneous event, so the morning has a coordinated feel, with an opening ceremony and warm-up before the field sets off together. Award categories go well beyond overall winners, recognizing teachers, parent-child pairs, and school teams.
Packet pickup runs race morning in the park, ahead of the opening ceremony. The post-race stretch runs for a couple of hours and includes music, food, and prizes, so there is reason to hang around after you finish.
