16th Annual City Manager’s 5K Walk & Run

16th Annual City Manager’s 5K Walk & Run

What began in 2007 as a small employee wellness initiative has grown into one of the City of San Antonio’s most anticipated annual traditions. Launched by the City’s newly formed Wellness Division in 2007, the first City Manager’s 5K Walk & Run brought together 561 employees and family members at Brackenridge Park to celebrate a new commitment to health and wellbeing across our organization. Over the years, the CM5K has evolved from an internal event into a community-wide celebration, welcoming thousands of participants annually. As the event has grown, it has traveled across San Antonio—from Brackenridge Park to SeaWorld San Antonio, Alamo Plaza, Roosevelt Park, and even a virtual format during the pandemic—while always staying true to its mission: encouraging movement, connection, and a culture of wellness. Now, the CM5K returns once again to SeaWorld San Antonio for this year’s event. Whether you’re walking your first 5K, running for a personal best, or cheering on friends and colleagues, you’ll be part of a tradition that reflects the City’s enduring commitment to a healthy workplace and a healthier community. Join us for a memorable day of movement, celebration, and City pride at the annual CM5K Walk & Run at SeaWorld San Antonio.
