Other Locations
Do you want to participate in the Red, White, & Blue event, but Kilgore is just too far away? Check out our other locations below!
**FREE** Kid's Dash
If your littles are excited to join in the experience, but aren't quite ready to tackle a full 5K, we highly recommend our KID'S DASH! This is a short 100–200-meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course. Dashers run for FREE but can still purchase a t-shirt and a finisher medal as an add-on.
**NEW** 1 Mile Option
Run Different is adding a brand new 1 MILE OPTION to all of our 2026 events! This is perfect for those who are just dipping their toes into the racing world, as well as friends, families, and social groups that just want to go for a nice stroll. Our milers will still receive finisher medals and participation shirts; however, this will be an untimed event with no group awards.
**NEW** Virtual Option
Run Different is now offering a VIRTUAL RACE OPTION for those who want to participate without all the hustle and bustle of waking up early and traveling. This is also a great option for those who live a long distance away from our physical race site. Be sure to select the virtual option when registering and we will ship your shirt and medal directly to you the week of the race!
Volunteers
Do you want to be a part of our Race-Day team with no long-term commitment? Do you want the opportunity to earn free race entries and not have to burn through your budget?
