Lace up your running shoes and prepare for a truly sweet experience at the Dessert Dash - Schulenburg, returning on March 7, 2026, in the charming town of Schulenburg, TX. This delectable event, hosted by Bigfoot Running Company, promises a high-energy, sugar-sprinkled celebration where fitness meets pure indulgence. Runners can choose their challenge from a 10K, 5K, or a casual 1M, with a special "Kids Dash" also available for the youngest participants. Typical race day conditions in early March offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 71F and lows near 51F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a dash through the countryside.

The Dessert Dash is renowned for transforming a traditional race into a full-on dessert party, making it a unique highlight in the running calendar. The course, set amidst the scenic Majek Vineyard & Winery, offers a "true country-vineyard experience" with a varied terrain of pavement, crushed granite, and some dirt paths. Aid stations are conveniently located along the route to keep participants refreshed. Every runner is rewarded at the finish line with not just a colorful finisher medal and a super-soft Dessert Dash tee, but also a well-deserved dessert ticket.

Beyond the run, the atmosphere is electric, featuring dessert-themed photo backdrops complete with inflatable donut props and "I run for dessert!" signs, lively music, and enthusiastic name announcements at the finish line. Keep an eye out for Bigfoot himself, who might even be spotted enjoying a giant donut. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the chip-timed 5K "Sprinkle Sprint" or 10K "Double Dessert Dash" with age-group awards and Bigfoot Trophies for overall winners, or enjoying a leisurely "Sweet & Simple Mile" with family, the Dessert Dash offers an unforgettable blend of physical activity and delicious fun.
