The OutRun Hunger 5K is an annual Fort Bend County event featuring a professionally timed 5K, a Kids Run, and fundraising entries. Harvest Green by Johnson Development hosts the race, which benefits East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry. It accommodates both runners and families; participants can compete for age-group awards, walk the 5K route, or bring strollers. The course is suitable for walkers, not exclusively for fast runners, and the top three men and women in each age group receive finisher medals. Following the race, attendees can enjoy a family-focused gathering with a bounce house, face painting, vendor booths, and photo opportunities. The fundraising structure allows runners and children to link their race day to local hunger relief efforts in Fort Bend County.

The Sugar Land Half Marathon, 10K, & Mile begins and ends at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, southwest of Houston. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, mile, Kids Half Marathon, and virtual participation. This suits runners seeking a longer road race, families, and those preferring shorter distances. The half marathon course is largely flat and fast, featuring accessible parking, a convenient start/finish area, and aid stations with water and Gatorade along the route. The half marathon follows a true loop course without out-and-back segments, and the 10K has been similarly redesigned. The half marathon route predominantly uses right turns, contributing to a fluid experience compared to courses with frequent reversals or crossings. The finish has been altered so participants enter from behind the venue rather than around the parking lot, with parking remaining accessible after the race begins. The participants include age-group runners, invitational and guardian divisions, wheelchair and para categories, handcycle entrants in the half marathon, pacers, children, and virtual participants. All finishers get a custom medal. The post-race area provides food, live music, awards, and a family-friendly gathering. The race is also a component of the Lone Star Race Series, offering incentives for participants completing multiple events.

Following the 1K, the event features award ceremonies for both the race and a costume contest. The run benefits Child Advocates, Harris County's CASA program. This organization recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children in the Houston area. These advocates work with children's cases and provide judicial recommendations regarding permanent placements, linking a family-friendly morning with a significant local cause.

Miles 4 Matthew begins and ends at No Label Brewing Co., offering in-person 5K, 10K, and 1K run/walk options alongside virtual 5K and 10K choices.

Matthew’s family and friends established the race to honor Matthew, who passed away from leukemia at age 9. He was first diagnosed with ALL at age 4 and later experienced a rare relapse. The event generates funds for families managing pediatric cancer, continuing to focus on Matthew’s narrative: a child remembered for his courage, humor, and zest for life during treatment.

The 5K starts in the morning and uses chip timing, while the Kids' Fun Run follows with 1-mile, half-mile, and quarter-mile options. Costumes are encouraged, making the field part road race and part Halloween parade. The setup is built for families: adults can walk or run the whole Fun Run course beside their children, and kids receive candy goodie bags upon finishing.

Bib and shirt pickup is at the Lower Manito Park Picnic Shelter, and all race proceeds go to Active4Youth, a local nonprofit that introduces children to sports and healthy activities.

Big Tex Backyard Ultra is a November event held at Stephen F. Austin State Park in San Felipe, near Houston, Texas. The primary race employs a last-runner-standing format: participants begin a 4.17-mile loop at the top of each hour. The event continues until only one runner remains capable of starting and completing the subsequent loop. The series also features Last Rucker Standing for ruckers and a Lil Tex Kids K, with the weekend centered at the park rather than a single standard trail course. The loop consists of wide, maintained crushed-gravel paths with minimal elevation changes, placing the challenge on repetition, pacing, sleep deprivation, and crew management. Runners may establish personal aid stations on a spacious grass field near the group dining hall shelter. Campsites, RV hookups, overnight lodging, and a well-stocked aid station are available to support the extended periods between loops. Completing 24 loops earns a 100-mile buckle. The winner receives one dollar per mile completed, and the second-place finisher receives one dollar per loop the winner ran. This race is part of the Backyard Ultra ladder, with Bronze Ticket status leading to Silver Ticket races, national championships, and the Backyard World Championships.
