Lace up for a meaningful run at the HBA Eikenburg 8K Fun Run on Saturday, February 21, 2026, in the heart of Houston, Texas. Starting and finishing at scenic Sam Houston Park in Downtown Houston, this popular road race welcomes runners of all abilities to tackle the 8K distance or enjoy a leisurely 1-Mile Family Walk. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 69F and lows near 51F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The HBA Eikenburg Fun Run stands out for its profound community impact, celebrating its 41st annual event in 2026. This USATF-sanctioned race is a proud part of the HARRA Spring Series and is dedicated to supporting The Center for Pursuit, a non-profit organization empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism. Thanks to generous sponsorship, 100% of every registration fee directly benefits this vital cause, with over $1.8 million raised since 1986.

Participants can anticipate a well-supported experience, including three water stations strategically placed along the course to keep you hydrated. All 8K finishers receive a commemorative medal and an official race t-shirt, with a lively post-race party awaiting at Sam Houston Park to celebrate your accomplishment. Whether you're vying for an age group award or simply enjoying a fun morning with family, the HBA Eikenburg 8K Fun Run offers a rewarding experience for a truly great cause.
