Join us for the 6th Annual Down Syndrome Association of Brazos Valley 5K/10K “With a Little Extra”

 

 

Why the “Little Extra”?

All people with Down syndrome have an extra, critical portion of chromosome 21 present in all or some of their cells. This additional genetic material alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with Down syndrome. Although 5Ks are usually 3.1miles, our run will have an extra, optional .11 miles, making our 5K a 3.21 mile run- to celebrate the extra chromosome, hence “5K/10K with a little extra”. Over the years we have expanded our 5K to include a 10K and Half Marathon- all with a little extra!

Founded in 2002, DSABV is a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that supports individuals with Down syndrome and other special needs reach their highest level of independence and productivity. Their community-based support allows them to host and sponsor regular social activities, provide educational programs, conferences, workshops, and community events. Their mission and purpose is for everyone with Down syndrome to have the skills and experiences they need to live the life of their choosing.
