Description

The Prettiest Race in Texas Virtual Half Marathon and 5k, benefitting Chosen Care, will be the 11th Annual running of the race and continues to benefit Chosen Care to help children heal from trauma by strengthening their families. Although in year's past we have run in beautiful New Braunfels Texas, this year's race will be virtual and can be run anywhere you deem to be the prettiest - even if it's not in Texas. 

Runners will receive a digital race bib before race day and the official 2020 Prettiest Race in Texas Finisher's technical shirt, the official 2020 Prettiest Race in Texas finisher's medal, and all the features of the Race Joy app!
The Race Joy app will allow you to submit your race times from anywhere! Download the app and start your race, and we'll be there to cheer you on! 

The race will be run between November 21, 2020 and November 27, 2020. These dates include Thanksgiving so the Prettiest Race in Texas can be your Turkey Trot!

Race bibs will be available for download before your race. Finisher's medals and tees will be mailed out the week following the race. 

Finisher's Medals

We are so excited for the 2020 medal! This year, we have created medals with a roughly 3"x3" opening in the middle for you to insert a photo! The Prettiest Race in Texas can literally be anywhere this year, so we wanted you to be able to commemorate your run with this unique and personalized medal. The trees to the side of the photo match the 2020 finisher's shirt, and is a nod to the beautiful trees along River Road where the original race was (and will be held again!). We look forward to seeing how each of your personalize your medals!
Medals are roughly 5"x5" with a customized ribbon so you can easily put it on display!

Finisher's Shirts

2020 Finisher's Shirts will be Craft technical tees in a vibrant blue with this beautiful print on the front. This print was designed with the beautiful view running down River Road in mind.
