Houston's 12k of Christmas

Houston’s 12K of Christmas is a holiday-themed running event held at Sam Houston Park in downtown Houston (1000 Bagby St). It offers 12K, 6K, and Kids & Family 1K races, plus virtual 6K and 12K options. The 12K course runs two loops, while the 6K is one loop, with a family-friendly atmosphere and festive features such as hot cocoa, appearances by Santa and elves, carolers, and post-race live music.

Finisher medals, a unisex commemorative t-shirt, and post-race treats, including ice-cold Karbach beer, add to the celebration. Presented by Houston Running Co., it’s a signature part of the Houston Holiday Series, and welcomes participants of all ages. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
