EmuBotcommented recentlyCelebrate Valentine's Day on Saturday, February 14, 2026, by falling in love with running at the Houston Holiday Series - LoveStruck. This festive event, held at Houston's scenic Willow Waterhole Greenway, offers participants the choice of a 5K or 10K, alongside a Family and Kids' K, ensuring a fun-filled day for all ages. As the inaugural race in the popular Houston Holiday Series, LoveStruck promises a vibrant atmosphere complete with great music and a lively post-race party, making it an experience you won't soon forget.
The course itself is a road-type run through what is often described as an "oasis right smack dab in the middle of Houston," offering beautiful scenery with some gentle hills to add a slight challenge. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 68F and lows near 50F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for hitting your stride. Each participant will receive a custom race shirt, a chipped bib for accurate timing, and a well-deserved finisher medal.
What truly sets the LoveStruck race apart is its charming Valentine's theme and the delightful reward of a box of chocolates awaiting every finisher. Held at the picturesque Willow Waterhole Greenway, with free parking conveniently located on Ricecrest St, Gasmer Dr., and at Westbury High School, this event is designed to bring friends and family together for a love-filled day. It's also your first step into the larger Houston Holiday Series, a nine-race challenge from Houston Running Co. that rewards continued participation with special incentives throughout the year.
