THE summer race with the best way to cool down – a margarita!

Barbara Nevins and Southwest Cafe present the 16th annual Southwest Cafe Margarita 5k to benefit Ability Beyond. The yummy margarita you know and love will be waiting for you at the post-race fiesta!

The Southwest Cafe Margarita 5K continues to support Ability Beyond, an organization dedicated to empowering every person, no matter their ability, to live, work and thrive as members of their community. The non-profit currently runs two residential programs in Ridgefield; Sunrise Cottage and Ritch Drive. Click on the "donation" button to find out more about Ability Beyond.

Everything you need to know about the races including FAQ can be found in the Athlete Guide, coming soon.

Please note we cannot guarantee a T-shirt if you register after July 25th.

On race day, the price goes up (the "procrastination premium"). On-site registration is credit card/debit card only, no cash or checks. You must use your phone or other mobile device to register on-site the evening of the race (paperless)

If you registered and you didn't see an email confirmation, check your spam folders first for "runsignup" or "margarita." Then, if you still need to confirm, click on the pull-down menu in the upper right corner and select "my races." Login to your runsignup account, and you'll see the race(s) that you are signed up for.
