Heroes and Villains - San Antonio

Lace up your running shoes and pick your side for the Heroes and Villains - San Antonio race on September 12, 2026, in the vibrant city of San Antonio, TX. Hosted by Bigfoot Running Company, this event transforms Southside Lions Park into an epic battleground where courage meets chaos across multiple distances: a Half Marathon (13.1M), Quarter Marathon (6.55M), 5K (3.11M), 1 Mile, and a Kids Dash. The course itself is described as fast and flat, traversing scenic local park and greenbelt trails, featuring a mix of paved, crushed granite, and dirt sections, making it accessible and enjoyable for runners of all levels. Aid stations will be strategically placed throughout the course to ensure you stay hydrated and supported in the typical race day conditions, which usually see highs around 94F and lows around 73F with a minimal 9% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets the Heroes and Villains race apart is its high-energy, costume-filled atmosphere. Runners are encouraged to embrace their inner hero or unleash their inner villain, with a costume contest held before the 7:00 AM race start for a chance to win prizes like gift cards, free race entries, and Bigfoot Prize Packs. Every finisher receives an awesome medal and a cool race tee, while top performers are celebrated with epic Bigfoot Trophies. With a live DJ, high-energy staff, crowd support, and refreshments at the Race Rally Tent, the event promises a fun, family-friendly experience from packet pickup (opening 1.5 hours before start) to the finish line festivities. Past participants praise the event for being well-organized with great swag and a big finisher party.
