The 13th annual Rise and Shine 5K Walk and Run at Reverchon Parkwill be held on Sunday, April 28 at 1 p.m. with registration starting at noon. The event will include a 5K walk and run, The Johnny Stallings 1K Fun Run, and many activities for the whole family.

The real celebration begins after you cross the finish line. Jolie Holliday band will kick off the post-race party at 1:45 p.m. There will also be a DJ, clown, petting zoo, rock climbing wall, bungee trampolines, bounce houses, raffle, and free food and drinks. There will be plenty of fun and games for all ages — from toddler to adults. 

The Rise and Shine benefits the Rise School of Dallas, a nationally recognized preschool specializing in the development and education of children, from ages 18 months to 6 years with Down Syndrome and other disabilities, as well as typical children. All proceeds from the run go directly to benefit the children who attend the school.  Preregister at www.riseschool.org/dallas or at Lukes Locker (3046 Mockingbird Lane) from April 11 to 14. 

Early registration costs are $25 per adult and $5 per child ages 3 to 17.  Children 2 and under are free.
On race day, the cost will go up $5 per registrant.
