Bayou City Classic 10K & 5K Fun Run - Virtual 2021

Welcome to the 44th Annual Bayou City Classic 10K and 5k Fun Run - VIRTUAL

Run Anywhere, Anytime Between March 13 and March 27, 2021

We are going all virtual again this year, but with renewed purpose and enthusiasm. This is a family-friendly, all-inclusive event. We invite EVERYONE to participate.  Wheelchair/pushrim participants are welcomed and encouraged. 

100% of the net proceeds from the Bayou City Classic are donated to the Houston Parks & Recreation Department to improve our city parks and preserve our trees. This non-profit event is organized by the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA), an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to promote running as a competitive sport and a healthful exercise.   The race has donated over $250,000 for the Parks over the previous six years!

RACE DETAILS:

1. Complete your race:

• Run/Walk or wheel your race distance (10K/5K) at any time or place between March 13 and March 27, 2021. The virtual race means you will set your own start time, date and course. Be sure to keep safe social distance from others.
