Shark Week Showdown 5K & 10K - Houston, TX 2026

Shark Week Showdown is an ocean-themed running event in the Houston area, held at Oyster Creek Park and hosted by Bigfoot Running Company. Runners can choose a 1 mile run, 5K, 10K, Kids Dash, a volunteer-then-run 5K option, or a virtual run, accommodating families, casual runners, and those seeking a longer effort. The race embraces the Shark Week theme with playful finish-line energy rather than a standard park run. Finishers in the 1 mile, 5K, and 10K receive medals, younger runners get their own Kids Dash medal, music plays at the finish, and Bigfoot may be seen near the line overseeing the course.
