The Cowtown
The Cowtown, the largest multi-race running event in North Texas, is moving.
The organization on Thursday said it will move its offices from its current location near White Settlement Road to 3548 South Hills Ave. in the Westcliff Shopping Center, according to a press release.
“We could not be more excited about our new location, where we can operate from a larger facility in a neighborhood where we can grow community outreach and better serve runners and families with quality programming and race activities,” said Heidi Swartz, executive director of The Cowtown.
The move stems from The Cowtown’s growth, the need for adequate parking, and the opportunity to provide additional community programming from a location that is near TCU, the Trinity Trails, and several Fort Worth ISD schools.
The Cowtown officials say the space, being renovated by Tryba Architects, will be better suited to house race-related storage and retail operations, runner training activities, adult fitness classes and the C.A.L.F. summer camps.
The lease, for approximately 15,000 square feet, is for a minimum of 10 years.
The site was once home to a Cook Children’s Medical Center and before that, seemingly a lifetime ago, Monnig’s department store. The Westcliff Shopping Center, anchored by Albertson’s, opened in 1949, with additions erected in subsequent years.
Kim Martin Company represented The Cowtown in the lease agreement while LanCarte Commercial Real Estate represented the owners of the building at the Westcliff Shopping Center.
