Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Day of the Dead Half Marathon - Fort Worth

Honor life and tradition at this festive event, winding through Texas parks, including Marine Creek Lake. The course goes through landscapes, lakes, and trees, highlighting nature's beauty. As the morning air fills with the scent of marigolds, runners start a journey through nature's tranquility, with a scene of Texas beauty at the finish. A post-race gathering offers Mexican treats and drinks, while a costume contest invites participants of all ages and experience levels to run and celebrate in Day of the Dead style.

Strides for Strength

Strides for Strength is a community-health run held at Discovery Meadow in downtown San Jose, offering 5K and 10K distances on a fast, flat course. A kids run for ages 2 to 7 takes place within Discovery Meadow, and a virtual option is available for remote participation. The in-person 5K and 10K accommodate a wide range of runners and walkers. Registration includes a bib, a wicking race shirt, and a finisher medal. The race supports Valley Health Foundation, which funds public healthcare facilities and programs throughout Silicon Valley. Its fundraising initiative, Run It Forward, links the event to practical health needs: family well-being, care for underserved neighbors, equipment and training for healthcare staff, and advocacy for wider health access. Participants can register individually or as a team. Those 21 and older receive a post-finish beer or mimosa.

Sister to Sister Fitness Festival 2026

The Sister to Sister Fitness Festival is a 5K walk/run in Cedar Hill, Texas, based at the Alan E. Sims Cedar Hill Recreation Center near Dallas. It is hosted by the Celebrating Life Foundation, a nonprofit that works to reduce the power of breast cancer through education, encouragement, early detection, and support for people affected by the disease. The event is built around movement, with onsite and virtual options so participants can walk, run, or move from home, a park, a neighborhood route, or the recreation center course. Its timing connects it with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and registration has started around $45. This is more than a standard local 5K, because survivors, caregivers, families, friends, and community groups are central to the day. The festival has run for more than two decades and has marked a 25th edition, so it carries the feel of a long-running community health tradition rather than a one-off fundraiser. Past themes such as “We’re in this Together” and “Unstoppable Together” point to the same purpose: people showing up for one another while raising awareness about breast cancer. The virtual version grew out of a year when the event moved online, and it stayed useful because it lets people join even if they cannot get to Cedar Hill.

Mending Minds 5k and 1 Mile

The Mending Minds 5k and 1 Mile is an annual run/walk for mental health awareness held at Smith Park, 4000 Greenbriar, in University Park, Texas. Participants can choose between a 5 km race or a 1 mile route (approximately 1.6 km). Registration is available on the event day in the morning prior to the 8:30 am start. The event benefits the Parenting for the Present Foundation, an organization that provides resources, mental health services, and psychological testing for underprivileged children in South Dallas. Activities on race day include games, refreshments, t-shirts, and photo opportunities. Direct donations are accepted for those unable to attend. Pets are not permitted at the event.

43rd World Airline Road Race - Fort Worth TX

Pumpkin Run 10K, 5K & 1Mile

The Pumpkin Run takes place on a race morning in Morton, Illinois, connected to the local Pumpkin Festival and the Nestle Libby's pumpkin brand. The primary race is a flat 10K. An untimed 2-mile fun run/walk starts first to keep the course and finish area less congested. The route goes through town and towards Morton's outskirts, returning runners to Jefferson Street, where the finish line is located within the festival grounds. The shorter event is designed for families and casual participants, accommodating strollers and wheelchairs. The 10K offers runners a faster, flatter course. Following the race, participants can enjoy drinks, snacks, music, awards, and the race's signature pumpkin donuts.

Powered to Move All Abilities Superhero Run 5k and Fun Run - Walk, Run, Wheelchair/Handcycle Roll

Powered to Move’s All Abilities Superhero Run is a 5K and fun run for running, walking, wheelchair use, or handcycling. The event is designed so every participant moves in their own way, with manual wheelchairs, push chairs, race chairs, handcycles, and strollers permitted on the course. The race benefits Powered to Move’s programs for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities, including adapted fitness, Wingman, and handcycle programs, along with activities at the Powered to Move Community Center. Participants requiring assistance must be accompanied by a registered family member or friend. All participants on the course will wear a bib. Awards will be given in categories for handcycle, wheelchair, race chair, push chair team, youth, teen, and adult age groups.

Hot Flash 5K Walk/Run

The Hot Flash 5K Walk/Run is a flat 5K in Cayce, South Carolina, on the Timmerman Trail along Congaree Creek. It begins in the morning from Fort Congaree Trail and attracts runners and walkers from across the Midlands, with a Kids Fun Run shortly after the 5K start. The route follows wooded trail sections and features chainsaw art carved into fallen trees by Wade Geddings. Finishers get custom medals, top overall male and female runners can win cash prizes, and the first masters finishers also receive awards. The event includes a costume contest, live music, fruit, energy bars, refreshments, and homemade baked goods, and it raises funds for local community projects like scholarships and support for City of Cayce employees.

Beer City Half Fort Worth

The Beer City Half Fort Worth is a Saturday morning race and beer event held at Panther Island Pavilion in Fort Worth, Texas. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, or 5K. For a more relaxed option, there's a 1-mile Beer Stroll around Panther Island and the Beat The Beast Beer Mile later in the morning. The main races begin early, followed by a shift towards beer tasting and the Beer City Festival. All runners receive a shirt, a Key to Beer City finisher’s medal, and a custom tasting glass, with unlimited tasting provided post-run. This event marks the Texas kickoff for the Beer City Half series, focusing on Fort Worth and Texas brewers for the post-race festivities.

Texans Against Child Trafficking 5K Race

The My Daughters – Texans Against Child Trafficking 5K is a run/walk in Fort Worth’s Trinity Park, starting at the Duck Pond. It is held in October, with packet pickup in the morning, a pre-race ceremony, and the 5K starting after that. The event is built around a clear cause: raising awareness about child trafficking in Texas and supporting Texans Against Child Trafficking’s work with survivors. The course uses the trails in Trinity Park, so the day works for runners, walkers, first-time participants, and people who come mainly to support the mission. Race morning includes warm-up sessions, a live DJ, cheer zones, shirts, finisher medals, snacks, drinks, and participant goodies. There is also a virtual 5K option for people who cannot be in Fort Worth but still want to take part and support rehabilitation services and resources for survivors.

About 5K races in Dallas

Dallas Training Notes

Dallas hosts 144 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

The Katy Trail runs 10 miles with skyline views and plenty of room to settle into Z2. The trail runs 5 miles from American Airlines Center to SMU, and locals use it for social miles when it is not packed. Santa Fe Trail connects White Rock Lake to Deep Ellum, and runners use it to add distance without overthinking the route. Dallas Running Club has nearly 2,000 members and a Wednesday Meet Up Social Run with 1 Mi, 5K, and 10K options. BMW Dallas Marathon is the big anchor event downtown, while Hot Trot Half Marathon and the 28th Annual Katy 5K keep the calendar busy.

Trinity River Levees are the go-to for gravel, and locals can follow more than 40 miles of track either on top of the levees or down inside them. White Rock Lake is still the daily spin, with the loop running 9 to 11 miles depending on the line. Santa Fe Trail is the clean route from Downtown toward White Rock and the East Dallas rides. DFW Gravel Grinders and Trinity Gravel Grinders keep the dirt crowd moving, while Critical Mass Dallas rolls on the last Friday of every month. Bike the Bluebonnets gives riders an anchor event, and Dallas Dirty Thirty gives the legs a harder target. Lakewood gives small hills, while bridges and levees handle most of the climbing.

March through May gives Dallas runners and cyclists the best training window, with spring weather that makes intervals and long Z2 days feel normal. September through November gives the second good block, and fall is the cleanest time to stack base miles before BMW Dallas Marathon season. Summer turns very hot and humid, with highs regularly over 32°C and heat indices past 40°C, so locals go early, go short, or keep it easy. Winter stays mostly mild around 13°C daytime highs in January, but cold spells can drop below freezing and make group rides, trail runs, and cyclocross-style mud days feel different fast.
