Edragon SA 5K Summer Series

Embark on an exhilarating summer of running with the Edragon SA 5k Summer Series, kicking off on May 31, 2026, in scenic San Antonio, TX. This popular series offers a fast-paced 5K (3.1M) distance, renowned for its flat and super-fast courses, making it an ideal opportunity for runners looking to set a new personal record. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 93°F and lows around 72°F, alongside a low 8% chance of precipitation, providing a warm but generally clear racing environment.

Each event in the series, including the inaugural May 31st race at Martin Luther King Park, features professionally timed courses through various local parks across San Antonio, offering diverse and beautiful scenery. Courses are clearly marked with signs and turnaround indicators. Aid stations are strategically placed around the halfway point of the course with water, and additional water bottles are available at the finish line, though runners are encouraged to bring their own for refills as needed. Beyond the main 5K, the series stands out with a free 1-mile run for kids aged 12 and under, fostering a family-friendly atmosphere.

The Edragon SA 5k Summer Series prides itself on its "back-to-basics" and affordable format, designed to engage all runners. Competitive spirits can thrive in the Fastest Group Competition, where the top five runners vie for recognition. A unique incentive for dedicated participants is a finisher's medal awarded at the final event to those who complete at least three out of the five races in the series. With 5-year age group categories spanning from 5 to 70+, this inclusive series promises a memorable and fun experience for the entire running community.
