  • Your child will only be allowed to leave the finish line with an adult whose wristband number matches theirs.
  • Reminder: BGC Racing does not provide child care. Race alongside your child or be their biggest cheerleader!

Join Our Team of Volunteers!

Volunteers are the heart and soul of FRESH 15, helping us create an unforgettable race day experience. When you volunteer, you’re not just assisting at the event — you’re supporting our mission to promote health and wellness while giving 100% of race revenue back to local non-profit organizations.

There are many ways you can get involved and contribute your talents. Check out the opportunities below and become part of our success!

The FRESH 15 supports nonprofit organizations that provide strength, stability and safety for families.

You see it in our store; you’ll see it at the race… being a part of a “family” is deep with the culture of our company. We award funding from the FRESH 15 to groups that exemplify the strength it takes to support every sense of the term “family” – passion, hope, dignity, belonging, protection are all vital to building lives that truly make a difference.

Every runner counts. Because we give 100% of runner revenue to our nonprofit partners, participants have already left a substantial impact in the lives of families to the tune of more than $1.5 million raised in just eleven years of running.​

Charities may request support from the FRESH 15 until August 31, 2025. We will select 10-15 charities to assist. It is expected that charities receiving funds will change each year.

We welcome elite athletes to run the FRESH 15. To qualify as an elite runner, you must meet the following time requirements and provide proof of finish times.

All times must have been recorded in the last 18 months. Comparable times may be considered for elite status upon approval.

All elite runners will receive the following, compliments of FRESH 15:

Thank you for your interest in our event!

FRESH 15 began with the idea of creating an iconic event that would motivate our community and Brookshire Grocery Co. employees to become healthier. With this event comes great pride as we join together to support charity and give back to our community. Unlike other races, we give 100% of race revenue back to non-profit organizations. We also have runners on our race team who understand the race from an athlete’s perspective and work on FRESH 15 year-round to create something memorable for everyone from the seasoned runner to the kids.

By focusing on the runner, volunteer, and spectator experiences of race day, we hope to make an impact on the lives of those involved to create a healthier, happier community. We firmly believe that motivating someone to get off the couch and move can change their life. This is something we have witnessed and are proud to say that FRESH 15 has done for many people.
