Embark on a refreshing 5K journey at the Terry Hershey parkrun, set for March 21, 2026, in the scenic Terry Hershey Park of Houston, TX. This beloved free, weekly event offers a welcoming atmosphere for walkers, joggers, and runners of all abilities to experience a well-maintained course.

The 5K takes place on a permanently paved, out-and-back course entirely on tarmac paths, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable run. While generally considered flat and conducive to personal bests, the course does feature some gentle undulations, providing a subtle challenge along the way. Runners will appreciate the scenic views as the trail winds along the picturesque Buffalo Bayou, with some sections offering welcome shade. The start and finish are conveniently located near the Kendall Library car park, and runners can find water stations in the park.

Terry Hershey parkrun is more than just a race; it's a vibrant community event organized entirely by dedicated volunteers, known for its friendly spirit and post-run coffee gatherings at a local café. With typical race day conditions in late March seeing comfortable highs around 76F and lows around 58F, and only a 10% chance of rain, it’s an ideal time to enjoy the outdoors. Join fellow enthusiasts for a memorable morning on the trails, making new connections and achieving your running goals.
