💛 MEET OUR FEATURED CHARITY PARTNER 💛

We’re excited to welcome the Cindy Ramsey Center as the Featured Charity Partner for the Fort Worth Oktoberfest 5K & Fun Run and Pumpkin Spice!

Based right here in Fort Worth, the Cindy Ramsey Center works to empower neighbors in need with life-changing resources for a brighter future—providing food assistance and other resources while serving their neighbors with dignity.

And our Run Project community has several ways to help support their mission:

❤️ Donate during race registration
💛 Give directly through our Race Roster fundraising page
🙌 Volunteer at the race in their name

Every race is an opportunity to do a little more for the communities where we run. We hope you’ll take a moment to learn more about the , the neighbors they serve, and how you can get involved.

From the first cup of water handed out to the final runner crossing the finish line, our volunteers helped make Too Hot To Handle happen. ❤️

They showed up early, brought the energy, worked water stations, helped along the course, supported our runners and stayed with us through a very busy race morning. Race day simply wouldn’t be the same without the people who give their time to help everyone else have a great experience.

To every volunteer who spent their Saturday morning with us: THANK YOU. We hope you know how much our runners and the entire Run Project team appreciate you. 👏🔥

And to everyone who gave a volunteer a smile, high-five or thank-you along the course—we love seeing that Run Project community in action.

Drop some ❤️ in the comments for our Too Hot To Handle volunteer crew!
