Alex's 5K - Virtual 

Friday, Nov. 20 - Sunday, Dec. 20, 2020
Location of your choice!

Bayou City Road Runners present:
10th Annual Alex’s 5k Run/Walk & Kids’ K
Run to defeat Autism
100% of our proceeds go to Autism-related charities​
2020 means some changes. Organizers had hoped to celebrate the 10-year milestone with everyone in person at MacGregor Park. Unfortunately, the pandemic had other plans. Therefore, the event will be virtual this year. Despite not joining all together, the event still shares the same purpose and enthusiasm! Please join us in running to raise funds for autism charities in our community!
 
RACE PURPOSE: Alex's 5K is a fun, family friendly event that honors the life of Alex Jamrich by promoting autism awareness and raising money for research and services. Alex was autistic and passed away in 2010 at the age of 17.
 
CHARITIES: 100% of the race profits will go to autism-based charities. To date, the annual race has provided donations of more than $140,000 over the life of the race. Race beneficiaries include Avondale House  (Alex's school), the Westview School, and Autism Speaks-Houston. More information about the beneficiaries available at www.alex5k.com.

 RACE DETAILS:
1. Run your race:
  • Run or Walk 5k any time or place between Nov. 20 to Dec. 20, 2020. The virtual race allows you to set your own start time, date and course. However, please be sure to be a safe social distance from others.
  • Record your time. You may indicate completion without providing a time.
  • Optional bib: For fun, print your own custom virtual bib by logging into your RunSignup Profile and clicking the "View Pre-Race Bib" link under "Upcoming Events."

  • Since everyone runs on different courses and under different conditions, no awards will be issued for this virtual event.
3. Upload pictures of your run to the Photos tab on the RunSignup race page. Share to social media with hashtag #alex5k2020

Our Houston running club, the Bayou City Road Runners, is a social club as much as it is a running club. While running in Houston is the central theme, you need not be a runner to join. Come to our next event and learn why. Visitors always welcome!
