About the Event
Located on San Antonio’s historic West Side, Our Lady of the Lake University is known for its close-knit community, mission-driven values, and long tradition of service. The Confetti Run/Walk 5K reflects that spirit by inviting the campus and the broader community together for an active, family-friendly event during Fiesta season.
The course is expected to begin near the front of OLLU’s main campus and continue through the surrounding area with a scenic stretch that goes around Elmendorf Lake. The route is designed to give participants a festive race-day experience that combines campus pride, neighborhood energy, and a bright spring atmosphere. Final course details can be updated once the official route map is confirmed.
