Coconut 5k Run/Walk

Coconut 5k Run/Walk takes place in San Antonio, Texas, on October 31, 2026. It is a single-format event, a 5K run/walk with an 8:30 a.m. start, open to anyone willing to cover 3.1 miles on foot however they like.

Having runners and walkers share one start line makes this a friendly first race, and there is no pressure to pick a side in advance. If you want to run the whole thing, three easy runs a week over a month or so is enough; if you would rather alternate running and walking, practice the same intervals you plan to use on race day so your body knows the rhythm. Late-October mornings in south Texas can still be warm, so start with your water bottle in hand and dress lighter than the calendar suggests.
