Ho Ho Hope In The Aftermath Run

Ho Ho Hope In The Aftermath Run takes place in New Braunfels, Texas, on Saturday, November 28, 2026. The program starts at 9:00 a.m. with the Run Run Rudolph Kids Half Mile, a short race for children, followed at 10:00 a.m. by the Ho Ho Hope in the Aftermath 5K Run. The holiday-themed name sets the tone for a family-oriented morning on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

The 5K is a road race that suits first-time racers and regular runners alike, while the half-mile gives kids their own moment on the course before the main event. If you are running your first 5K, four weeks of easy jogging three times a week, gradually extending one run toward 3 miles, is all it takes. More experienced runners can use the mid-morning start as a relaxed effort or a chance to run alongside younger family members who just finished their own race. A short warm-up before the 10:00 a.m. start is all you need to be ready.
