The Shipley Donut Dash is a fall race at Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, offering 5K, 10K, and Kids Dash distances. The race centers on Shipley Do-Nuts, providing runners and walkers with donut stops during the course and additional donuts at the finish. The event embraces its theme with a donut-themed shirt, a donut finisher medal, and donuts and coffee for participants. It suits runners aiming for a specific time, families with children participating in the shorter dash, and walkers primarily interested in the treats. A portion of the proceeds benefits Kids' Meals, a Houston-area charity that combats childhood hunger.

The Woodlands Marathon is a Saturday race weekend in The Woodlands, Texas, featuring a marathon, half marathon, 10K, relay, 5K, and 2K Fun Run.
