About The Cowtown:
Run annually since 1979, The Cowtown is a nationally recognized event that secures Fort Worth’s place as a destination for sports tourism. The race proudly displays the city’s history and culture, leading runners through the arts district, the Stockyards, downtown, along the Trinity River and through TCU. Proceeds from The Cowtown benefit the C.A.L.F. Program with a mission to promote health and the life-long pursuit of physical activity for youth in North Texas. The Cowtown running community has made it possible for C.A.L.F. to distribute 60,000 pairs of running shoes and train youth in proper running technique and health achieving habits since 2009. The Cowtown 2025 is presented by Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth.
