ARC Daisy 5K

Come join us for the 42nd running of the Daisy 5k! This year's race will be on Saturday, May 18 and proceeds benefit Austin-area Marathon Kids programs.

The event will held at Camp Mabry. Strollers are welcome at the race. Pets are not permitted on Camp Mabry grounds.

There will be three races at this year's event!

Daisy 5k (our signature race) Kid's Mile Daisy Dash Mile

In addition to our signature 5k race, we have the Kids Mile and the Daisy Dash! Both mile races are run on Camp Mabry’s military precision 1-mile track. The Kids Mile is an untimed event for children 12 and under.  The Daisy Dash is for runners of all ages and everyone will receive an official chip time. There aren’t many timed mile races in town so this will be a unique event to test your speed!

Does one mile sound too short? Run both the Daisy 5k and the Daisy Dash Mile to complete the Daisy Challenge. 

Combo Discount - Price for Daisy Dash Mile is only $10 when you register for 5K and Daisy Dash Mile in the same transaction. Combo registrations only receive one (1) tshirt.

  Team Challenge

We’ve added a new competitive element to the Daisy 5k--a cross country style Team Challenge! The Daisy 5k was originally an all women’s race, and we wanted to keep that spirit alive by having a coed competition. Participation in the team challenge is optional, but why not grab some friends and join the fun?

Team Rules:

Team must have at least 5 and no more than 7 members Each team must have at least 2 male and 2 female members

Creating a team

Join an existing team

Scoring:

Points are awarded to the individual runners of eligible teams, equal to the position in which they cross the finish line (first place gets 1 point, second place gets 2 points, etc.) The team score is the point total from the team’s top 2 male members, top 2 female members, and the next fastest finisher (either male or female). The team with the lowest score wins!
