About

The Akins High School Band is pleased to announce the first annual Akins Community 5K and Festival on April 23, 2016 from 9:00am to 4:00pm at Akins High School (10701 South 1st St. Austin, TX 78748). This is a unique event that brings together students, parents, families, and the community from all of southeast Austin. We kick off the day of excitement and family fun with a professionally timed 5K on the Akins campus. As that event starts the day, the Festival begins as well. The entire Akins Vertical Team of the Austin Independent School District will present entertainment, food, games, arts, and other diversions throughout the event.

All proceeds from the day’s activities go to support the students and organizations in the participating schools. Each school will have their own “Village” of booths and activities staffed by representatives from school organizations. The Akins HS spring carnival, Fiesta Akins, is also a part of this year’s event, as are the finals from the new Akins High School talent show “Battle of the Ages.” Performers from groups at Akins HS as well as other schools in southeast Austin will present performances throughout the day.

More information and registration for the timed 5K and Virtual 5K can be found on our official website, www.akins5kandfestival.com. Information on organizational, corporate, and individual sponsorships can also be found on that page. Admission to the Festival is free, and tickets for purchasing food, items, and games can be obtained at the event.
