ASYMCA Village People 5K

Get ready to groove through the charming streets of Salado, Texas, at the ASYMCA Village People 5K on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This vibrant 5K isn't just a race; it's a lively celebration supporting military and veteran families through the Armed Services YMCA. Hosted by the Barrow Brewing Company, the event encourages participants to embrace the fun by dressing up as their favorite Village People characters, adding an unforgettable, festive atmosphere to your run.

The scenic 5K route winds through historic downtown Salado and along the picturesque Salado Creek, offering beautiful views for runners, walkers, and even furry canine companions. While the course is largely accommodating, it does feature some steep steps, so strollers are not recommended. The race starts and finishes at Barrow Brewing Company, located at 108 Royal Street, where the post-race festivities truly begin.

Upon crossing the finish line, participants will be rewarded with a commemorative t-shirt, a refreshing pint (or non-alcoholic beverage) to celebrate their achievement, and a unique stackable medal designed to interlock with other medals from Barrow Brewing Company's 2026 race series. Typical race day conditions in early June see highs around 92F and lows around 70F, with a minimal 10% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but potentially enjoyable run. Packet pick-up is available the Friday evening before the race and on race day morning at the brewery. Join this fun-filled event and make a difference while enjoying a memorable run in Central Texas.
