GreenFest on the Greenbelt

GreenFest on the Greenbelt 5K is an event centered around health, wellness, and recreation. We will have food and activities for the whole family including bounce houses, food trucks and music. This is not your every day 5K, this one will be memorable because of the surroundings and the unique experience in the festival area. The 5K will be timed and almost entirely off-road, the course will take you along the beautiful Greenbelt Trail and across the historic Elm Fork Bridge. The 1 Mile Fun Run will be around the festival area for all of the spectators to enjoy. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Dogs on a leash are welcome to join. Strollers are welcome but please note that the course will be very challenging for a stroller.
GreenFest on the Greenbelt is presented by The Greenbelt Alliance of Denton County, A 501(c)3 nonprofit. They are a community-based, volunteer organization that fosters awareness of the Greenbelt. The goal of this event is to raise funds for the Texas State Parks and Wildlife Department. The funds we donate are kept local and used to improve the Greenbelt as well as Ray Roberts Lake State Park
All participants of the 5K will receive a swag-bag with sponsor goodies, event t-shirt, finisher medal and finish line refreshments.
The 5K will have prizes for the top 3 overall male and female finishers as well as top 3 male and female finishers in the following age groups:
