Green 6.2

Green 6.2 is held in Houston, Texas, on April 10, 2027, and pairs a running challenge with a strong environmental focus. The 10K (6.2 miles) and the 5K (3.1 miles) both start at 7:30 a.m., followed by a Kids + Family Fun Run of 1K at 9:15 a.m. The course mixes city streets with green space, and there is entertainment along the route to keep the atmosphere lively.

The 10K is the centerpiece and a good target if you already run several times a week: four to six weeks with one weekly tempo run and a weekend run of an hour or more will prepare you well. The 5K is the option if you want something shorter or are returning to racing, and the 1K gives younger family members their own start. A fixture of the Houston running calendar, it rewards a steady effort rather than a fast opening mile.
