[El Paso, Texas]: The El Paso Center for Children invites the community to join their third annual “Kickin’ Asphalt 5K and One-Mile Fun Run/Walk” at Ascarate Park Saturday, March 23rd, starting at 5:00 pm.
As we gear up for the third annual Kickin’ Asphalt event, we’re thrilled to invite the entire El Paso community to join us,” said Beth Senger, Chief Executive Officer of the El Paso Center for Children. “This event is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity for us to come together and support the resources available to youth and families in our county as they navigate life’s challenges. We’re excited to see everyone come out and make a positive impact on our community.”
Kickin’ Asphalt is a fun-filled, family friendly event which is free for non-racers and includes pre and post-race entertainment. Attendees can expect food trucks, live music by Hypnosis, arts and crafts vendors, wine and beer tasting hosted by Old Sheepdog Brewery, a jumping balloon obstacle course for kids, and much more!
