This chip-timed 3.1-mile race promises a flat and fast course with no hills or rough terrain, making it ideal for runners of all levels looking to achieve a personal best or simply enjoy a scenic tour through the historic streets of Old Town Leander. The race begins and finishes at the intersection of Willis and Bagdad, with streets closed to traffic for a safe and enjoyable experience.

As a highlight of the Old Town Street Festival, this race offers a vibrant community atmosphere and sells out annually, so early registration is highly recommended to secure your spot.

The event is also stroller and dog-friendly, welcoming leashed and friendly canines to join in the fun. Typical race day conditions in early June include highs around 92°F and lows around 70°F, with a minimal 12% chance of precipitation, creating a warm but usually dry start to the day at the new earlier 9:00 AM start time.

Beyond the race, the Old Town Street Festival 5K serves as the perfect prelude to a full day of festivities. Runners can look forward to an awards ceremony for top finishers in various age categories, followed by the vibrant street festival featuring live music, local vendors, delicious food trucks, and family-friendly activities, making for an unforgettable community celebration.
