Cinco de Mayo Run/Walk has record event
By Kyle Mooty
LPR Editor
Lockhart was overtaken by runners and walkers Saturday morning as the 12th annual Greater Caldwell County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Cinco de Mayo 5k/10k Run/Walk didn’t just enjoy a record turnout, but it more than doubled its largest turnout with 341 registered runners/walkers.
“We took over seven years ago for the event, which was created 12 years ago,” said Jimmy Silva, race coordinator and organizer. “We had 80 or 90, then 120-150, maybe 185 last year. But we had 341 register and 273 cross the finish line this year. We had 105 do that last year. We had more than 70 walk-up the day of the race and register.
“Two weeks ago was our shirt deadline and we still ordered extra shirts and need 50 more. What a great problem to have. There were running groups from everywhere, Austin, Kyle, you name it.”
Jennifer Crosby was the race director.
In the 5k, Lockhart runners claimed first overall and first in the female division. Johnny Castanoh won the 5k and Men’s Division (20-29 age group) in a time of 18:19. Reina Del Castillo of Lockhart won the Female Division (11-19 age group) and was 8th overall in a time of 21:44.

All of the proceeds from the event go to scholarships for Caldwell County students.
“Hopefully, we’ll continue to grow because it’s for a great cause,” Silva said.
