Register for ASC’s Heart & Sole 5K, and
Volunteer to Help Distribute Rack Cards
The 15th Annual Heart & Sole 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run is right around the corner, and our registration site is officially LIVE! Please join us at Oak Point Park in Plano on Saturday, February 15, and promote the race to your family, friends, and coworkers. Runners, walkers, children, and dogs are all welcome. And stick around after the race for breakfast, music, and family-friendly activities, including a bounce house, face painters, and a balloon artist. Mark your calendars and register today!
Calling all ASC members: We need volunteers for ASC’s Heart & Sole 5K!
The 5K is always our greatest volunteer need of the year, so in addition to registering for the race and spreading the word about it, please sign up to help us in one or more of the following ways:
Rack card distribution. Help us distribute promotional fliers over the next several weeks to spread the word about our race.
Race bag stuffing. On February 8, help us stuff race bags with goodies and swag to distribute to race participants.
Packet pickup. Work a shift at packet pickup on February 9, where race registrants can pick up their race bibs and t-shirts in advance of race day.
Race Day. Race Day is February 15, and this is our greatest need! There are three shifts, so even if you plan to run or walk the race, you can still help.
Volunteers are critical to making this event a success, so please sign up below to help. And remember — these are perfect opportunities for students who need service hours, so feel free to bring helpers with you!
