Stay Fit and Connected
For over a decade, in partnership with Steve Taggart and “TaggRun,” we’ve hosted this three-part series of 5K/10K runs, allowing participants to join one or all events and experience the changing seasons of the orchard and the stages of pecan growth. After Taggart announced his retirement as Event Director in 2023, FICO took over the coordination and hosting of these beloved runs. In honoring Taggart’s legacy, FICO remains dedicated to supporting our community of athletes and raising funds for deserving local clubs and non-profit organizations.
