Lace up your running shoes and join the vibrant celebration of freedom at the July 4th Run 5K/10K/13.1 AUSTIN/ROUNDROCK, taking place on Thursday, July 4th, 2026, in Austin, TX. This special Independence Day event offers a range of distances including a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon (13.1 miles), and a 1-Mile Family Fun Run, making it perfect for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The race is designed as a stress-free and supportive experience, emphasizing community spirit as you move for what unites us all. Kicking off with wave times from 7:30 AM, participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 96F and lows around 75F, and a low chance of precipitation.
Set in the Austin area, with a specific location at Richard Moya Park (10001 Burleson Rd, Austin, TX), this event is a "pure run" experience, guided by coordinators to ensure a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While specific course maps are emailed the Wednesday before the race, you can anticipate a road course perfect for enjoying the holiday. Participants will receive a swag bag that includes a running t-shirt (with an option to upgrade to a technical shirt), a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. For those who prefer a relaxed pace, timing is optional and managed via apps rather than traditional chips, focusing on personal achievement rather than intense competition.
This intimate, smaller group run caps participants per wave, ensuring a comfortable and encouraging environment. Beyond the finish line, you'll also receive an invitation to join local running clubs, extending the community spirit long after the race. Don't miss this opportunity to honor liberty and courage with every stride; early registration is highly recommended as spots are known to fill up quickly.
