Lace up for a ridiculously fun and uniquely Texan experience at the Wiener Run 5K and 10K in San Antonio on Saturday, May 2, 2026. This vibrant event, held at Southside Lions Park, promises a high-energy springtime celebration for runners of all paces, from the youngest "Tiny Wienie" dashers to those tackling the 10K. The course offers a scenic mix of pavement, crushed granite, and grass paths, winding through the public park where you'll share the space with dog walkers and picnickers. Expect typical race day conditions with highs around 86F and lows around 64F, and aid stations throughout the course will ensure you stay refreshed as you run, rain or shine.

What truly sets the Wiener Run apart is its lively, community-focused atmosphere and commitment to furry friends. This isn't just a race; it's a full-on BBQ bash where "fun, food, and furry friends collide". After crossing the finish line, every participant receives a complimentary hot dog and beverage, enjoying the festive "BBQ vibes" with a live DJ and awards ceremony. The event proudly partners with a local wiener dog rescue group, with a portion of proceeds benefiting their operations, and runners are encouraged to bring donations of dog food, toys, and treats for adoptable pups on-site.

Beyond the cause and the post-race feast, runners will earn awesome finisher medals and super soft tees. Top finishers in the 5K and 10K will even vie for the prestigious Bigfoot Trophy. Whether you're aiming for a personal best in the chip-timed 5K or 10K, enjoying a casual 1 Mile run, or bringing the kids for the untimed dash, the Wiener Run guarantees an unforgettable experience where laughter, community spirit, and a love for pups take center stage.
