WHY REGISTER BY APRIL 19?  Register for 5K or Fun Run by Monday April 19 and receive a ballot in your packet to "vote" on race day for a Mission Waco Mission World program to receive $15+ of the Race ONE proceeds.  Our program directors provide a list on the ballot of specific needs in their program areas.  Ballots will only be accepted at Jubilee Park on race day from 7am-8:40am.  Recruit your friends to also register by April 19 and come out on race day to "vote" their support for your favorite program of Mission Waco Mission World!   Our Door Prizes are drawn at 8:40am from all the ballots received that morning -- so that's another reason to vote!
