Kick off Easter weekend with Heart of Heath
The Family Fun Run takes off in 2022.

HEATH, TX (March 29, 2023) The City of Heath’s traditional Easter Saturday celebration featuring the Heart of Heath 5k and 1-Mile Family Run is Saturday, April 8. This is a great opportunity to bring family and friends to Towne Center Park to experience one of the events that help make Heath special. The runner’s warm up begins at 8 a.m., the Family Run starts at 8:15 a.m., and the 5K starts at 8:30 a.m.

While inflation seems to be affecting everything these days, you can expect the same affordable registration fees offered since 2016! You’ll also get a complimentary Heart of Heath t-shirt while supplies last and be entered into a drawing for wonderful prizes donated by local businesses and sponsors. 

Camp Gladiator led the runner’s warm up and rousing tug of war competitions in 2022.
