Get ready to spring into action and celebrate the season of renewal at the Always Hope Easter Run in Houston, Texas, on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This popular family-friendly event offers an uplifting experience for runners and walkers of all ages and paces, with distances including a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, 5K, and a 1-mile Family Fun Run. Held at the scenic Eleanor Tinsley Park (Houston, TX 77019) with race day bib pick up, participants can anticipate typical race day conditions around 78°F highs and 60°F lows, with only a 10% chance of rain, ideal for hitting the road course.

The Always Hope Easter Run is renowned for its welcoming and stress-free atmosphere, emphasizing joy and accomplishment over strict timing, though optional tracking is available through apps or with coordinator assistance. What truly sets this event apart is its unique focus on hope and gratitude, complete with Easter eggs for children, making it a memorable outing for the entire family. Be sure to register early, as this smaller, private group run, hosted by The Best Races, is known to sell out quickly due to its capped waves.

Participants receive a fantastic swag bag, including a running T-shirt, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack, all conveniently shipped directly to your address—no packet pickup required. With a supportive setting provided by coordinators along the course and the opportunity to connect with local running clubs, the Always Hope Easter Run promises a fulfilling and inspiring start to your Easter weekend.
