Bayou City Classic 10K

Bayou City Classic is Houston's oldest 10K race and 5K Fun Run & Walk, held in downtown Houston at Hermann Square by City Hall. The event features a 10K and 5K course through the city center, and emphasizes inclusivity with wheelchair/pushrim participation. It celebrates creativity with a Centipede costume contest and a lively post-race party with food and beverages.

Proceeds benefit Houston Parks & Recreation Department and have totaled over $250,000 in eight years. The all-volunteer Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA) organizes this family-friendly event and welcomes runners, walkers, and volunteers alike. Wheel divisions for handcycles and pushrim are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
