Wiener Run 5K and 10K - Fort Worth

Get ready for a deliciously fun challenge at The Wiener Run 5K and 10K - Fort Worth, a full-on BBQ bash and springtime celebration of running, picnics, and pups, taking place on May 31, 2026, at Webb Community Park in Arlington, TX. Hosted by Bigfoot Running Company, this event invites runners of all ages and abilities to choose their perfect distance, with options including a playful Kids Dash, a 1-Mile run, the classic 5K (3.11 miles), or the more challenging 10K (6.22 miles). The course itself offers a varied and engaging experience, featuring a surface that combines pavement, crushed granite, and grass paths. Runners should anticipate sharing the scenic park paths with local dog walkers and picnickers, adding to the vibrant community atmosphere. Aid stations will be strategically placed throughout the course to keep participants hydrated and energized, preparing them for typical race day conditions in late May, with highs around 88F and lows around 70F, and a 16% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets The Wiener Run apart is its unique, dog-centric theme and heartwarming community focus. This isn't just a race; it's an unforgettable experience where every runner earns an awesome finisher medal and a super soft race tee. The energy at the start and finish lines is palpable, featuring a live DJ, finisher name announcements, and a vibrant post-race celebration complete with "BBQ vibes." Participants are treated to a free hot dog and beverage at the finish line, and top finishers in the timed 5K and 10K races will vie for coveted Bigfoot Trophy awards.

Beyond the personal challenge, the event proudly partners with a local wiener dog rescue group, offering adoptable pups on-site and collecting donations of dog food, toys, and treats – so bring a bag to show some puppy love! You might even spot Bigfoot himself grilling in the background, adding to the memorable and fun-filled experience. Packet pickup opens 1.5 hours before the race start, ensuring a smooth beginning to your "Short Wiener Run" or "Long Wiener Run" adventure.
