Boot Run 5K - RGVLS Champs for Champions
Available distances
About
Boot Run 5K - RGVLS Champs for Champions is held in Mercedes, Texas, on October 25, 2026. Two distances start together at 8:00 a.m.: the Boot Run 5K and a shorter Kicks Run 1K, which is about six tenths of a mile and aimed at younger participants.
Having a 1K on the same schedule as the 5K makes this an easy entry point for families, with children racing a distance they can handle while the adults take on 3.1 miles. The 8:00 a.m. start puts you at the finish early, with the rest of the day in the Rio Grande Valley still ahead of you. Runners chasing a time should get there early enough for fifteen minutes of jogging plus strides, since a 5K leaves no room to ease into the effort.
