Come on out and celebrate the 18th Annual USA Fit Marathon, Shottenkirk Kia – Fort Bend Half Marathon, and Simon Spine 5K. Our event is known as “Everyone’s Marathon” because we believe all athletes, no matter what their pace, should get the chance to enjoy the race experience.

Trail Racing Over Texas is excited to highlight yet another hidden gem of Texas with the Kreische Brewery and Monument Hill State Historic Site. This beautiful park sits high above the Colorado River with views overlooking the town of La Grange. This will serve as our backdrop to the start and finish of a very unique format of trail running and festival, much more family and spectator-friendly than your typical race. Kids can enjoy the brand new interactive playground, check out the historic sites, and also partake in the free kids’ event.

Formed in 1972, the Houston Marathon Committee® (HMC) is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization that plans a multi-race running event (marathon, half marathon and 5K). A Running USA founding member, the HMC is overseen by a board of directors, 12 staff members and approximately 7,000 race weekend volunteer positions.

Because we’re all about fun, family-friendly events that welcome every pace and fitness level. This spring race is the perfect chance to challenge yourself, enjoy creative swag, and be part of an encouraging, affordable, and inclusive community. Whether you’re chasing a PR or just showing up for the fun, we’re here to cheer you on every step of the way.

Get ready to lace up your running shoes and unleash your inner adventurer at the Bigfoot Classic—the ultimate running race set against the stunning backdrop of Texas parks and woodlands! Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for some outdoor fun, we have something for everyone with distances ranging from a thrilling 1 mile to a challenging 15K.

A low-key, four loop, flat, fast, tree lined course, certified Boston qualifier, with custom shirts, race hats, finisher medals, and a complimentary pizza lunch and beer after the event. All proceeds from this event are donated to Coats for Kids, Global Wheelchair Mission and Orphanos Foundation.

Join us at 7:00am on December 14, 2025 for the 14th year of the Baylor Scott & White College Station Marathon + Half Marathon! Run throughout College Station, Bryan, and the Texas A&M campus.

Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with the “Gingerbread Lane” holiday race, a festive extravaganza set in the beautiful Texas parks and greenbelts! This cheerful event offers distances for every runner: a 1-mile jaunt, a 5K adventure, and a 10K challenge. Little ones can join in the fun with the exciting “Kids Dash,” a 50-meter sprint that will have the crowd roaring with cheers for these pint-sized racers.

This is the December edition of our popular Brazos Bend races with the marquee event being the 100-mile. The Brazos Bend course is the fastest trail in Texas trail running. The course is 99.9% flat, and the only hill is 10 feet. Other than that you will be running on flat surfaces that move from hard crushed rock, soft hiking trails under tree canopy, and smooth horse trails. Conditions in December can have a mix of anything but are typically great conditions for running. Brazos Bend is a spectacular State Park located just South of Houston/Sugar Land and is most known for its abundance of birds and American Alligators among other wildlife. The gators are a part of our race, there has never been an incident in the park. Enjoy them on your run, from a distance, and you may get some unique race photos!

By participating in the YMCA Turkey Dash 2025, you’ll be making a positive impact in our community. All proceeds from the event directly support the Katy community, funding scholarships to ensure that everyone can access YMCA memberships and programs.

Katy Turkey Trot

Review of Katy YMCA 24th Annual Turkey Dash

This is a great option for a turkey trot if you live close to the Katy area. The path is flat, and it has a lot of participants! There are also a lot of fast runners in this one, so if you’re looking to be competitive, this is the perfect one.
