FWISD's Garcia Huizar To Run Cowtown Ultra-Marathon in Honor of Father
Yvonne Garcia Huizar, District operations coordinator, is running this year’s Cowtown ultra-marathon with purpose.
Garcia Huizar’s story of running the race in memory of her father was recently featured in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
For a decade, she’s run marathons, but this will be her first 31-mile ultra-marathon. She intends to run with a picture of her father on her pace bracelet, according to the Star-Telegram.
The 40th Cowtown kicks off at 7 a.m. Saturday, February 24, with a 10K and adult and child 5K races. Half, full and ultra-marathon races will get underway at 7 a.m. Sunday, February 25.
