Houston Roast Run & Comedy Show

March 7, 2026
Houston, TX 77007 US

The 5K

Think of it as a normal 5K, but with way more heckling. You’ll tackle a single-loop course on the scenic Buffalo Bayou Trails, featuring stunning skyline views of downtown Houston perfect for a "before" photo, because the "after" photo won't be pretty.

The Course Highlights:

  • Skyline Views: If you’re going to be roasted, you might as well have a great backdrop for it. Enjoy the best views of Houston while questioning your athletic abilities.

  • Roast Stations: We’ve stationed professional comedians throughout the course. They’ve got microphones, zero chill, and a very clear view of your running form. Prepare to be "motivated" by some of the sharpest tongues in Texas.

  • Water Stations: We have 2 water stations on the loop. They’re there to keep you hydrated and to give the comedians a stationary target to aim for while you're drinking.

Warning: Participation requires thick skin and a sense of humor. If you’re looking for a quiet, meditative morning run, you’ve come to the very wrong place.
