Giraffe Gallop 5k/10k
About this race
Stand tall, lace up, and join us for Giraffe Gallop! Whether you're taking on the 5K or 10K, this giraffe-themed race is all about having fun, building friendships, and celebrating every mile together. Throw on your favorite giraffe print or safari-inspired outfit and experience one of DFW's most unique female-only races! Little one not quite ready for the full 5K? We've got something for everyone! We'll also have a Little Giraffe Gallop so participants of all ages and abilities can join in the fun.
The first 200 participants to register will secure a custom race-themed bib! Your race registration includes a bib and a finisher medal, you can ADD on a race theme shirt.
On-site, you'll enjoy:
• Local vendors
• Glitter station
• Bib bedazzle station
• Temporary tattoo station
• Music, photo opportunities, and an unforgettable race-day experience
Our events are designed to bring women together, build confidence, create lasting friendships, and make race day something you'll look forward to all year long. Registration is limited, and if you joined us last year, you know our races sell out. Secure your spot early, invite your friends, and don't miss one of Fort Worth's most fun female-only race experiences. If you are unable to attend, your bib and medal will not be distributed to another individual during the event.
