Throughout the year the San Antonio RoadRunners (SARR) conducted a series of races offering running and walking competitions at a variety of distances. course types and levels of difficulty. The club emphasizes a safe and runner/walker friendly venue for all of these events, providing medical support, security, and logistical support to all participants and spectators.

This is available to the general public free of charge on the SARR website at http://saroadrunners.org. SARR also provides the local community with an online events calendar that is open to the local community to post running and walking events, and to promote fundraising events through these events for other local charitable organizations.
