Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 AUSTIN/ROUNDROCK

Veterans Day Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 AUSTIN/ROUNDROCK is held in Austin, Texas, on November 14, 2026. The 13.1-mile half marathon, the 10K, the 5K and a 1-mile family fun run all start at 7:30 a.m. The race is untimed and open to both in-person and virtual entrants, with capped wave starts that keep the field manageable and welcoming to all abilities. Everyone gets a bib, a finisher medal, a shirt and a certificate of participation.

An untimed format changes the job on race morning: without a clock to chase, the half becomes a strong way to log a two-hour effort on the road at controlled pace, especially as a rehearsal for a spring goal race. Newer runners may prefer the 5K, which fits comfortably after a few weeks of regular running, and the mile keeps children and walking partners part of the day.
