Description

Midland Athletic Company presents the 1st annual Run and Racket!

As part Pat Green's Best of the West event, Run and Racket provides participants the opportunity to enter a 5k or 1 mile run AND then play in a pickleball tournament! If the double- day does not intrigue you, sign up for the run OR the pickleball tournament. YOUR CHOICE!

Run and Racket benefits The Permian Warrior Partnership™ (PWP). PWP is a veteran-focused, community-led initiative to proactively connect with all veterans and ensure access to quality resources and opportunities available in collaboration with the community.  They aim to cultivate an integrated, resilient, and prosperous veteran community within the Permian Basin by improving veteran quality of life thus ending veteran suicide.

We believe movement, relationships, and the outdoors are essential pillars of health and this event is a bullseye for all three!
