The Fiesta Flambeau Fandango Run, sponsored by the San Antonio Roadrunners, takes place just before the Fiesta Flambeau Parade and traverses the parade route. The run beginning at Grayson and Broadway and ending at Columbus Park on the West Side of downtown. This is the chance to race in front of thousands of cheering people who line the entire length of the three-mile course. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes or run in groups with a group theme. At the post-race celebration in Columbus Park, race and costume awards are handed out while music, merriment and refreshments abound.
Participants also receive a T-shirt commemorating the race.
After the race, buses are available to take runners back to the parking area at Fort Sam Houston. Runners are also invited to stay and watch the parade just two blocks from the park. Free to spectators.
