The OutRun Hunger 5K is an annual Fort Bend County event featuring a professionally timed 5K, a Kids Run, and fundraising entries. Harvest Green by Johnson Development hosts the race, which benefits East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry. It accommodates both runners and families; participants can compete for age-group awards, walk the 5K route, or bring strollers. The course is suitable for walkers, not exclusively for fast runners, and the top three men and women in each age group receive finisher medals. Following the race, attendees can enjoy a family-focused gathering with a bounce house, face painting, vendor booths, and photo opportunities. The fundraising structure allows runners and children to link their race day to local hunger relief efforts in Fort Bend County.

The Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas is an October race series held at Northshore Park in The Woodlands, Texas. The primary event is a USATF-sanctioned 10-mile road race, complemented by two shorter races: the 3.1 Armadillo Run 5K and the One 4 Texas Kids’ Fun Run. The Woodlands Township Parks and Recreation Department organizes the event, which has a limited number of entries. All three races begin and end at Northshore Park, proceeding through The Woodlands' streets. Over 1,200 participants register, including 10-mile runners, 5K runners, families, and children in the short race.

Following the finish, a post-race party is held for runners and families.

The Sugar Land Half Marathon, 10K, & Mile begins and ends at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, southwest of Houston. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, mile, Kids Half Marathon, and virtual participation. This suits runners seeking a longer road race, families, and those preferring shorter distances. The half marathon course is largely flat and fast, featuring accessible parking, a convenient start/finish area, and aid stations with water and Gatorade along the route. The half marathon follows a true loop course without out-and-back segments, and the 10K has been similarly redesigned. The half marathon route predominantly uses right turns, contributing to a fluid experience compared to courses with frequent reversals or crossings. The finish has been altered so participants enter from behind the venue rather than around the parking lot, with parking remaining accessible after the race begins. The participants include age-group runners, invitational and guardian divisions, wheelchair and para categories, handcycle entrants in the half marathon, pacers, children, and virtual participants. All finishers get a custom medal. The post-race area provides food, live music, awards, and a family-friendly gathering. The race is also a component of the Lone Star Race Series, offering incentives for participants completing multiple events.

The event raises awareness and funds for breast reconstruction, charitable care, and research, using the #BRA5K hashtag for race-day posts.

The 5K and 10K follow an out-and-back course, with the 5K completed twice and the 10K completed four times. The half marathon also utilizes an out-and-back route. Packet pickup is efficient, opening 30 minutes before the start and concluding 10 minutes prior to the race.

Miles 4 Matthew begins and ends at No Label Brewing Co., offering in-person 5K, 10K, and 1K run/walk options alongside virtual 5K and 10K choices.

Matthew’s family and friends established the race to honor Matthew, who passed away from leukemia at age 9. He was first diagnosed with ALL at age 4 and later experienced a rare relapse. The event generates funds for families managing pediatric cancer, continuing to focus on Matthew’s narrative: a child remembered for his courage, humor, and zest for life during treatment.

Participants, including runners, walkers, and spectators, are part of the day's activities. The superhero theme is literal, as attendees are encouraged to wear capes, masks, and costumes. Following the 1K, the event features award ceremonies for both the race and a costume contest. The run benefits Child Advocates, Harris County's CASA program. This organization recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children in the Houston area. These advocates work with children's cases and provide judicial recommendations regarding permanent placements, linking a family-friendly morning with a significant local cause.

A portion of the proceeds benefits Kids' Meals, a Houston-area charity that combats childhood hunger.
