At a Glance Reminders for Race Day:
Teams:  Come dressed FUN and CREATIVE!  We will be presenting the Most Creative Team award during closing ceremony along with Farthest Traveler and Oldest Finisher!


Parking Information:  Parking will be available in the Morgan's Wonderland parking lot directly across from the park and there will be additional parking at the Heroes Stadium parking lot.  We advise to arrive early for convenient parking and  to avoid long lines for registration/sign in.

We encourage you to take advantage of early packet pick up if you have already registered online to avoid race day lines.  We will be holding early packet pick up on Saturday, September 12th from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. at Academy Sports+Outdoors in the Northwoods Shopping Center, 2024 TX-1604 Loop, San Antonio, TX 78232.  Look for our CleftStrong sign immediately when you enter the store to the left.   At early packet pick up, you will take care of sign in plus receive your CleftStrong race day t-shirt and sport pack with bib number.  The only thing you will need to retrieve when you arrive before the race is your timing tag. 

If you would like to take advantage of the discounted rate at Morgan's Wonderland Park after the race, all you will need to do is mention that you participated in the CleftStrong 5k.  They will open their gates to children affected by a cleft condition for free and all other participants at $9/person.    

If you will be registering at the race on Sunday here is a way to save time!  

1. Print this registration form out for each participant registering with you.
2. Complete the form(s).
3. Race Day Registration begins at 7 am sharp.  Hand your completed forms to the race day registration     table when you arrive.
4. Save lots of time! 

Remember we need a form completed for each participant, so if you have more than one to register this will save you a great deal of time in the line and allow you more time for the fun stuff!  

Throughout my life, I endured about nine surgeries. When I was a baby, I had my first surgery: the cleft palate repair. I don’t remember it since it was so long ago, but from pictures, it seems like I handled it fairly well for a baby. The surgery with the most complexities and hardest recovery was my jaw surgery. I had jaw surgery in 11th grade and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. Between only being able to eat clear liquids for five days, to having my mouth rubber banded shut, to the limitations on any physical activity, it was a rough recovery process. Looking back, I could not be happier about the surgery. The results were phenomenal. I had braces for seven years and a retainer for a total of about two years. For nine years of my life, I had some form of metal in my mouth. I began the orthodontia process around age nine, and was not rid of my metal retainer until halfway through my freshman year of college.

Through high school, I stayed extremely involved in extracurricular activities. I joined my school orchestra in sixth grade and stayed in it until my high school graduation. I golfed on my school’s golf team for five years (8th-12th grades). I joined various clubs at my high school and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I began attending Texas State University in the fall of 2014. I am an English major with the goal of attending law school after I graduate from Texas State. Upon arriving at Texas State, I immediately got involved with different organizations; many of which I am still a member today. I genuinely love my school and could not be happier at another university.
