Join us for a timed 5K Run along Buffalo Bayou, a 53-mile, 18,000-year-old slow-moving waterway, and the historic birthplace of Houston! Whether you’re running, jogging, or walking, this event welcomes all fitness levels. Come enjoy the fresh air, cheer each other on, and cross the finish line feeling proud—and maybe a little sweaty.

The Keller Williams Premier Katy Labor Day 5K and Kids K race (formerly known as Back to School 5K) will be held on Labor Day, Monday September 7, 2026 at the Villagio Town Center in Cinco Ranch. The 5K will be a chipped timed race on a certified course with all proceeds benefiting The Ballard House and Ainsley’s Angels. All registrants will receive a race shirt and a chipped bib. Registrants that sign up after August 13th are not guaranteed to receive a race shirt, or to receive a shirt in their preferred size. We will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate shirts and shirt sizes for all entries up to race day. Awards will be given for overall winners, masters winners and age group awards for 10-year age groups. The Kids 1K race will not be a timed event but it will be full of fun and participants will receive a prize at the end for finishing.

This chip-timed event starts and finishes at the brewery and follows a flat, scenic out-and-back course. Great post race party with included beer, food trucks, awards and random drawings.

Help us kick off National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by joining us for the Chance for Hope Going Gold Fun Run, an officially-timed 5K and 10K race open to participants of all ages! From competitive runners to leisurely walkers, the Fun Run offers something for everyone. In addition to the race itself, an event village features music, race prizes and fun activities for the kids.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. The 9/11 Heroes Run 5K welcomes runners, ruckers, and walkers of all ages and fitness levels to honor the heroes of that day and those who stepped up to serve in the wars that followed. These annual events are critical to helping Americans fulfill a promise to never forget and share the significance of that day with future generations.

Born from the tragedy of 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation carries forward a legacy of courage and heroism. Built upon the mantra, “While we have time, LET US DO GOOD,” the Foundation supports our nation’s fallen and catastrophically injured first responders, military heroes, and their families.

The Yuri’s Fun Run Houston is part of an annual worldwide celebration that commemorates the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, as well as the first orbital flight of the US Space Shuttle. Both these pioneering events took place on April 12th – in 1961 and 1981 respectively. As such, our race is always run on, or close to, the 12th April, and is often held in conjunction with a Family Space Day celebration with interactive booths, displays and simple water rocket demonstrations. Yuri’s Night celebrations around the world fuel public interest in space exploration, technology, and the aerospace industry.

This is our nighttime party trail run just West of Houston at Stephen F. Austin State Park! The trails are wide and mainly gravel/dirt with a few quick elevation changes but a great trail run for beginners to advanced. 

​All runners will need both a light and hydration device as mandatory equipment. The trail will be marked with reflectors and ribbons. We are a cupless race so you must carry your own bottle/flask. Follow park instructions for parking along the right side of the park road, starting at the group dining hall event area and filling back from there. 

The group dining hall is where all the action happens; packet pickup, start/finish, spectator hang-out lawn with runners personal area, and our main aid station. A second water refill will be available at halfway at the road crossing. Extra lights and costumes are encouraged! Sunset is at 7:30 PM.

This chip-timed event starts and finishes at the brewery, runs along the famed Galveston Seawall on a well supported, flat and fast out and back course. Walker friendly! Once you cross the finish line, hit the tasting area to collect your souvenir pint glass and enjoy up to four 8-oz. tastings of Galveston Island craft beer!
