Thousands of women are expected to participate in the 11th annual 5K Jiggle Butt Run and Walk, benefiting SafeHaven of Tarrant County on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at 7 a.m.
The agency provides care and shelter to victims of domestic abuse and seeks to return families to a safe, self-sufficient environment by providing support services such as education, counseling, and a transitional living program. The Jiggle Butt Run and Walk has raised over $125,000 for the organization in just a few years.
Women of all ages and fitness levels are encouraged to participate in the 5K fun run which will wind through the UTA campus and Downtown Arlington.
Come early, between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. for registration and group warm-up exercises inside UTA's E.H. Hereford Center at 300 W First St. before the race starts at 9A.M. in front of College Park on Spaniolo Dr.
