PGAL Team Members Take on a Weekend of Impactful 5Ks

This past weekend, PGAL team members laced up their running shoes and represented the firm at two standout 5K events that combined fitness, architecture, and community impact.

In Dallas, our runners joined the annual Form Follows Fitness 5K, a race that celebrates the built environment in the most active way possible. The scenic course winds through Uptown, the Arts District, and the West End, offering skyline views that feel especially meaningful to a team of architects and designers. The event benefits the Architecture and Design Foundation, supporting scholarships and educational programming that invest in the next generation of design professionals. A strong run paired with a strong mission made it a win all around. The post race festivities, complete with local vendors and live energy, made it even better.

On the West Coast, PGAL team members participated in the cmX 5K in Long Beach, hosted by the CMAA SoCal Chapter Foundation. This event supports workforce development initiatives within the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, helping create pathways for students and emerging professionals. The run brought together industry peers, families, and community members for a morning focused on movement, mentorship, and momentum.

Across both cities, the PGAL crew showed up with team spirit and plenty of endurance. Some chased personal bests. Others ran for fun and fellowship. All supported meaningful causes connected to education and the future of our industry.
