A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 HOUSTON

The Merry Christmas Run in Houston is a small holiday running event held at Eleanor Tinsley Park. It offers 5K, 10K, half marathon, family mile, virtual run, and no-shirt eco-registration options. This event is designed for runners and walkers seeking a Christmas-themed outing before holiday festivities, welcoming all paces and allowing children with a guardian. The event utilizes capped waves, meaning entries may close once a wave is full. The virtual option serves as a backup for those who miss in-person spots. Timing is optional, and the course map is emailed to participants. Organizers structure the day as a straightforward group run with coordinator support, avoiding elaborate race-day production.
