Heart & Sole 5K/1K

Lace up for a heart-healthy good time at the Heart & Sole 5K/1K, set for Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the charming community of Hondo, Texas. This untimed fun-run and walk event offers distances of 3.1 miles (5K) and 0.62 miles (1K), making it perfect for participants of all ages and fitness levels. Both races begin and conclude at the Rick Taylor Recreation Center, with the 5K starting at 9:00 AM and the 1K at 9:15 AM. As a highlight of American Heart Month, this event encourages healthy habits in a festive, family-friendly atmosphere where strollers and even sociable, leashed pets are welcome to join.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 74°F and lows near 47°F, accompanied by a low 4% chance of precipitation, providing pleasant weather for a morning out. A single water station will be available at the 1.5-mile mark to keep 5K participants hydrated. What truly sets this event apart is its commitment to community health beyond the finish line; a bloodmobile will be on-site from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM for those wishing to donate blood. Ensure you register by February 17th to guarantee your commemorative event t-shirt for this spirited Hondo tradition.
