Thank You to the 2021 Whisper Valley 5K Sponsors

The 2021 Whisper Valley 5K was a tremendous success with a record number of runners and exciting new additions to our event, including a Farmers Market and evening concert!

The event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors, which also enables us to donate portions of proceeds from the 5K registrations to Farmshare Austin, a local nonprofit increasing healthy food access throughout Travis County.

Learn more about our sponsors and the important work they do in the local community!
