Shark Week Showdown 5K, 10K - Dallas, TX 2026

Shark Week Showdown is an ocean-themed running event at Beard Park in Dallas, featuring a 1 Mile Run, 5K, 10K, Kids Dash, Volunteer then Run 5K, and Virtual Run. The 5K is 3.1 miles, the 10K is 6.22 miles, and the event offers families, newer runners, and those seeking a longer distance multiple options for race day. Bigfoot Running Company organizes the event, with the finish area featuring music instead of a quiet clock-and-go exit. Participants in the 1 Mile, 5K, and 10K receive medals, and the Kids Dash includes a distinct medal for the youngest competitor. The shark theme defines the event's character: it's a playful summer run with a distance suitable for most, rather than a formal road race.
