The Cowtown is a nonprofit organization that promotes health and fitness within the community. Runners who participate in The Cowtown are supporting the efforts of The C.A.L.F. Program, also known as Children’s Activities for Life & Fitness. The program provides educational resources and training to students to promote nutrition and health.

To carry out this initiative, The Cowtown is partnering with North Texas School Districts to help keep the children of North Texas active and healthy. Teams from the C.A.L.F Program visit schools and produce small pop-up runs for children.
Each child that partakes in the C.A.L.F program will receive a new pair of running shoes and socks to help motivate them to stay active. In the midst of the pandemic, there is a greater need, now more than ever!

The Cowtown C.A.L.F. (Children’s Activities for Life and Fitness) Program: As part of The Cowtown mission to promote a lifelong love of fitness, The C.A.L.F. Program was created in 2009 to help tens of thousands of area children lace-up and cross countless finish lines. The Cowtown visits approximately 400 schools across North Texas annually, training students in proper running technique and educating them about resting heart rate, the importance of hydration, proper nutrition and living an active lifestyle. Through the school grant program, The Cowtown identifies low-income children and fits them properly with a new pair of running shoes, as well as provides grants to make entry fees more affordable. The Cowtown has made running a 5K race a reality for 42,000 children in the last 11 years.
