Get ready for a heartwarming and energetic experience at Graeme's Run, an annual 5K race and 1-mile family walk set to take place on February 28, 2026, in the charming locale of Katy, TX. This beloved event, now in its 11th year, is more than just a race; it's a powerful community gathering dedicated to supporting a vital cause. The course winds through historic Old Katy, offering a straightforward road run that is enjoyable for all levels of participants. You can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 71°F and lows near 52°F, alongside a minimal 9% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a fantastic run or stroll.

What truly sets Graeme's Run apart is its profound mission: 100% of the funds raised directly benefit congenital heart defect (CHD) research through The Graeme McDaniel Foundation, established in memory of Graeme Bone McDaniel. This family-friendly event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages to celebrate Graeme's life and contribute to a brighter future for other heart babies. The race kicks off and concludes at the vibrant No Label Brewery, located at 5351 1st Street, Katy, TX 77493, which also serves as a central hub for pre- and post-race festivities.

The finish line is just the beginning of the celebration at Graeme's Run. Participants consistently praise the lively post-race atmosphere, which includes free food, live music, face painting, balloon art, and even OMG Video Game Trucks for the younger crowd. Adults aged 21 and over can also look forward to two complimentary drink tickets to enjoy at No Label Brewery, adding to the festive and communal spirit. With a history of drawing over 1,800 participants and raising substantial funds for CHD research, Graeme's Run promises a memorable and impactful experience for every member of the family.
