Lace up your shoes for the Bear Creek Greenbelt parkrun, a vibrant and free weekly 5K held on January 31, 2026, in Keller, TX. This welcoming event takes runners, joggers, and walkers through the scenic Bear Creek Greenbelt on an entirely concrete path. The course is a double out-and-back, offering participants a unique chance to see and encourage each other along the route. While generally flat, the course does feature some gentle hills, providing a varied experience amidst pleasant parkland surroundings. The start and finish are conveniently located near the parking area of the Keller Pointe Rec Center, with ample parking and toilet facilities close by.

As part of the global parkrun movement, Bear Creek Greenbelt parkrun is known for its friendly, community-focused atmosphere, making it ideal for everyone from first-timers to seasoned runners. This volunteer-supported event emphasizes participation and personal achievement over competition; there are no prizes or swag, just the satisfaction of completing a timed 5K. A unique "tailwalker" ensures no one finishes last, embodying the inclusive spirit. Typical race day conditions in late January include comfortable highs around 59F and lows around 37F, with a minimal 6% chance of precipitation. After crossing the finish line, many participants extend the camaraderie by joining the post-parkrun coffee meetup at a local Starbucks.
