Victoria, TX
We're Back! The 3rd Annual Holiday Hustle 5k dashes into town on Saturday, December 12, 2026, 8am! Run, jog, stroll—or shuffle like you’re late to a holiday party—in this festive, chip-timed fun run. For the younger crowd (ages 0-9), we’ve got the Kids 1k Reindeer Dash—antlers optional, but highly recommended. YES! There are age group awards, but let’s be honest: the real prize is the festive t-shirt and finisher medal you’ll casually wear to every family gathering as proof you’re both athletic and jolly. Holiday attire is “optional” in the same way fruitcake is “optional” at Christmas—it’s happening whether you like it or not. And yes, there are prizes for the best dressed, so start planning your elf-on-the-runway look now. This may be the least stressful day of your holiday season, unless of course you get overtaken by a Reindeer in the 1k. Either way, sign up now and secure your spot in the most festive hustle of the year!

Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 DALLAS FORT WORTH

Fort Worth, TX
🌅Run at Sunrise with pretty scenic views! Start your day and your journey with a breathtaking sunrise and fellow runners chasing greatness. Forget the massive, impersonal race-day crowds.

Whether it's a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, or virtual run, you'll get the warmth of a hometown event. Overview: Spots sell out FAST! We close each wave the moment it fills. Once a wave sells out, you can grab the virtual run option or join the waitlist.

Timing: Optional! Track your own time via Strava, RunKeeper, Nike Run, or similar, then submit it through our easy online form to get posted. Or just ask a coordinator to help time you.

Holiday 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Austin, TX (51)

Austin, TX
US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

Through the collection of new toys and a portion of the proceeds, our goal is to bring gifts and joy to children in our community during the holiday season.
