Run by the Creek 2026

Run by the Creek is a Sunday 5K and 10K in Dripping Springs, Texas, located on the edge of the Hill Country. The race begins at Roger Hanks Parkway and follows a fast, rolling course, distinct from a flat city loop. The route parallels Onion Creek and crosses it, lending the race its name and local character. Participants often note the volunteers, the signup shirts, and the age-group awards. With awards for the top male and female finishers in each age group, the event accommodates runners aiming for a specific placement as well as those deciding between the 5K and 10K distances.
