20th Annual Adrian Dominguez Scholarship Walk/Races Set for Saturday March 26th

The Adrian Dominguez Scholarship Race/Walk/Dash returns to La Feria next Saturday, March 26th, at the Veteran Memorial Park Sports Complex located on Pancho Maples Drive in La Feria.

Returning for its 20th year, all registered participants will receive a commemorative race t-shirt as well as juice, soft drinks or bottled water. Prizes will be raffled off the day of the race.

Medals will be awarded to the top female/male 5K run and 1 Mile walk participants in all age categories.

Trophies will be awarded to the top male and female runners and a trophy for the school with the most runners. There is a category for everyone, regardless of age, from 13 and under to 70+.

Net proceeds from the race will fund scholarships for students from La Feria High School.

The race was first established in 1996 by local resident Manuel Dominguez in honor of his son, Adrian, who had spina bifida. It is now the longest-established five kilometer race in the Rio Grande Valley.

The event benefits the Los Diez Education Foundation, which awards scholarships to area students; so far, more than 54 students have received a collective total of more than $20,000 to pursue higher education.
