Texas Tough 5k, 10k & 10 Mile

Challenge yourself at the Texas Tough 5k, 10k & 10 Mile on Sunday, June 21, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas. Hosted at the scenic Eisenhower Park, this event lives up to its name, promising an exhilarating and demanding experience for runners of all levels. Voted the "best 10k in the South" by Competitor Magazine in both 2013 and 2014, the Texas Tough is renowned for being one of the most challenging courses in the state and has become a "must-do" race in its 12th year.

Runners will conquer a course celebrated for its significant hills, often described by participants as having "plenty of hills until your heart desires". The paved paths wind through the beautiful Eisenhower Park property, offering stunning views of the San Antonio Skyline. For the 10-mile and 10K distances, the route extends beyond the park onto the Salado Creek Path, showcasing picturesque landscapes among San Antonio's northern hills. Typical race day conditions in late June can be warm, with highs around 96F and lows around 75F, and a low chance of precipitation, adding to the "tough" element.

Beyond the formidable terrain, the Texas Tough experience extends to a vibrant race atmosphere, complete with a DJ and announcer to cheer runners across the finish line. All participants receive a sublimated running shirt, and 10-milers have the option of a singlet, along with a custom E-Dragon Productions medal to commemorate their accomplishment. The celebration continues with a well-deserved post-race brunch featuring breakfast tacos and coffee, making the Texas Tough more than just a race—it's a true Texas running adventure.
