It’s time for the 5th Annual West Texas Region Row/Run Across Texas initiative.  This year you can row, run, elliptical and cycle to calculate meters.  The calculation chart will automatically convert your miles to meters so it’s easy to keep up with.

We will still have prizes for 1st through 3rd places in all age groups and teams.  Those who place 1st through 3rd will win an engraved coin. Please read carefully over the rules and don’t hesitate to email me with any questions.

1. This year’s race will have a $20.00 entry fee (through DPSOA Website dpsoa.com).  The fee will guarantee a t-shirt, participation coin, and the opportunity to win up to 26 raffle tickets.
2. Teams are back!!! Individual competitors will be competing in one of the five age groups for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. Teams will be competing for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place and will still be able to earn tickets for every 50K meters. You can only compete in one division, team or individual.
3. Cycling workouts will now be accepted. For every mile you cycle, you will get ¼ miles credit. (3 miles = 1,209 meters)
4. For every 50K meters rowed, ran, or completed on the elliptical, you will earn a raffle ticket (Up to 26 tickets can be earned). 
5. Tickets will be drawn at the end of the race for top prizes.  
6. Participants are only eligible to win one of the top three prizes.  

West Texas Region Personnel,

Starting December 1st, with the support of the Region IV chain of command and DPSOA those who are interested will have an opportunity to participate in a friendly initiative called “Row/Run Across Texas.”  This initiative is intended to keep everyone motivated to stay physically active between the Fall PRT testing periods.  The goal of this initiative is that each individual row/run/elliptical/cycle to reach the designated checkpoints along Interstate 10.  Individual participants will be categorized by age (per PRT flow chart) and the amount of meters performed. Participants are responsible for logging their daily progress on the chart provided.  Participants will need to check in every time they reach a 50K meter mark and at designated city checkpoints. All charts need to be turned in by February 28, 2021. Prizes will go to the individuals and teams who reach Beaumont first or if nobody reaches Beaumont, whoever accumulates the most meters in that group. As well, we will have a raffle at the end with all the tickets earned during this race.
