HEADLAMPS AVAILABLE FOR $10
***10K AND HALF MARATHON/RELAY RUNNERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR HEADLAMPS OR RUNNING LIGHTS***
To safely navigate the TPC golf course sections of the scenic course that are in the dark, we require our runners & walkers to have some sort of lighted device to assist them. The illuminated cart paths are for directional purposes only and not enough to light up the entire path since it’s such an expansive area. If you forget your running headlamp, we will have a limited number for sale at a nominal cost to help keep you safe out there. Runners WITHOUT some sort of lighted device are subject to disqualification. Safety first folks! We appreciate your understanding since this is such a wonderfully amazing venue. It is such a very rare opportunity to run at the JW Marriott San Antonio & TPC San Antonio, we prefer not to wear out our welcome.
Stars at Night Charity
We are always humbled to help out organizations with this run and invite all of you to join us.
The two ministries we are helping this year are, Traveling Loaves and Fishes and Christian Assistance Ministries,(CAM). Traveling Loaves and Fishes have been a part of Stars at Night Half since the beginning and will again be serving in our bag check area. They provide daily delivery of nourishing meals and compassionate interaction.
One of our regular photographers is not only good at snapping fun shots of our runners, but has a genuine service minded heart. She is a part of helping CAM Ministry. CAM's mission is to share the love of Christ by providing immediate assistance and encouragement to people in crisis.
