CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Sinton Volunteer Fire Department is inviting the community to take part in its first-ever 5K Turkey Trot at Old Welder Park, a race designed to honor the dedication and endurance of firefighters.

Participants will take on the challenge in the spirit of the men and women who serve and protect the community every day.

There will be live music, food, vendors and there is also a 1K Turkey Trot for kids eight and under, and every young runner will receive a medal for their effort.

Registration is open now. Sign up before Nov. 4 to guarantee an event t-shirt. The 5K costs $25 for early registration and $30 on race day. The kids’ 1K is $10 for both early and day-of registration. 

Officials encourage residents to come out, show their support, and run alongside the heroes who keep Sinton safe. Organizers said every step of the race is a tribute to the commitment and courage of firefighters.
