On a bright, sunshine-filled Saturday morning, team members from HBG Design’s Dallas office laced up their running shoes and joined thousands of architecture and design professionals at the annual Form Follows Fitness 5K—Dallas’ premier race celebrating the city’s iconic architecture. With an outstanding turnout, the event once again demonstrated the strength and vibrancy of the North Texas design community.
Team members from both the Dallas and Memphis offices participated, making it a meaningful cross-office event centered around wellness, community engagement, and industry connection.
Supporting the Purpose Behind the Race
Sponsored by Blackson Brick, the Form Follows Fitness 5K benefits The Architecture and Design Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to advancing the value and impact of architecture and design throughout North Texas.
HBG Design is proud to support the mission of the Form Follows Fitness 5K and the Foundation’s efforts to make careers in architecture more accessible, cultivate future design leaders, and strengthen public engagement with the built environment. Investing in initiatives that elevate education, professional growth, and community awareness aligns closely with HBG’s own commitment to advancing the design industry.
The race route winds through some of Dallas’ most architecturally significant neighborhoods—including Uptown, the Arts District, and the West End—offering participants a unique opportunity to experience the city’s built environment from a new perspective.
Race Day Highlights
Beyond the run itself, the event offered extensive opportunities for networking and community engagement. HBG Design hosted a well-branded booth that attracted steady traffic throughout the morning. Team members connected with industry peers, strengthened existing relationships, and introduced HBG’s work and culture to new audiences.
With thoughtfully curated merchandise and refreshments, the booth created a welcoming space for conversation and engagement. The event also provided a valuable opportunity to elevate brand visibility in the Dallas market and actively connect with potential future team members.
Looking Ahead
Participation in the Form Follows Fitness 5K reflects HBG Design’s ongoing commitment to supporting the design community, promoting professional development, and encouraging wellness among our teams. Events like this allow us to celebrate architecture while strengthening relationships across offices and within the broader industry.
Thank you to everyone who helped coordinate and organize HBG’s involvement and ensured the day was a success.
Way to go, Team HBG!
