VIP Race Weekend Experience Now Available to Runners Supporting Children’s Fitness Across North Texas

FORT WORTH, TX — The Cowtown Marathon is proud to announce the Cowtown Gold Pass, an exclusive VIP benefit available to runners who purchase a C.A.L.F. (Children’s Activities for Life and Fitness) Supporter Bib for the 2027 Cowtown Race Weekend Half, Full, or Ultra marathons.

Designed to reward runners who give back by purchasing the charity bib, the Gold Pass elevates the race weekend experience with premium access and amenities typically reserved for elite participants. Gold Pass holders will enjoy:

Access to the VIP Tent

Complimentary snacks and beverages

Premium seating to watch race action

Private restroom facilities

A comfortable space to relax after the race

Participants will receive their special Gold Pass bib at packet pickup, which serves as their credential for all VIP areas post-race. Runners must have their Gold Pass bib on their person to access VIP areas.

Beyond the VIP perks, the C.A.L.F. Supporter Bib is a meaningful way to participate in race day with purpose. Gold Pass participants pay the first-tier registration price for their chosen distance, with the remaining portion of the fee serving as a tax-deductible donation to the Cowtown C.A.L.F. Program. These donations fund running shoes, fitness education, and race opportunities for thousands of children across North Texas each year.

“The Gold Pass is our way of saying thank you to the runners who go above and beyond to support the health of the next generation,” said Cowtown Executive Director Heidi Swartz. “Every Supporter Bib purchase makes a direct difference in the lives of local children, and we want to ensure those runners have an unforgettable race weekend experience in return.”

Gold Pass C.A.L.F. Supporter Bibs are available now for the 2027 Cowtown Race Weekend. For more information or to register, visit cowtownmarathon.org.
