Lunar New Year Run 5K/10K/13.1 HOUSTON

Get ready to "gallop into the New Year" at the Lunar New Year Run 5K/10K/13.1 HOUSTON, taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in vibrant Houston, Texas. This special event, kicking off at 7:30 AM CST from Eleanor Tinsley Park, celebrates the Year of the Horse, a symbol of energy, freedom, and forward momentum, making it a perfect occasion for a fresh start to your fitness journey. Participants can choose from a 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon (13.1 miles) on a road course, designed for runners and walkers of all ages and paces.

What sets this race apart is its focus on a supportive and stress-free environment. It's organized as a smaller, private group run with capped waves, ensuring personalized support from coordinators to help you achieve your goals. Forget the hassle of packet pickup; your running t-shirt and finisher's medal will be shipped directly to you, with race bibs provided on race day. Timing is optional, allowing you to simply enjoy the camaraderie and embrace the festive atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in early February Houston bring pleasant highs around 67°F and lows around 48°F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather.

Embrace the unique blend of culture, fitness, and community spirit this Lunar New Year. Beyond the run, participants receive a digital training pack, online results, a certificate of completion, and an invitation to join local running clubs. With spots expected to sell out quickly, secure your registration early to be part of this unforgettable experience, or opt for the virtual run option if waves are full.
