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.

Early in the spring, when the temperatures are still fresh and the trees are awakening. Some foliage has developed and there may or may not be flowers in the trees.

When it’s hot out there runners find a piece of heaven in the orchard. The foliage is at its fullest which creates a protective canopy. At this stage, pecans are in mid growth.
We’re excited to announce this year’s Breeze in the Trees beneficiaries very soon! Stay tuned to find out which local organizations your steps will help support.
