Always Hope Easter Run 5K/10K/13.1 HOUSTON

The Always Hope Easter Run 5K/10K/13.1 HOUSTON is run in Houston, Texas, on March 27, 2027. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K (6.2 miles), the 5K (3.1 miles) and a one-mile Family Fun Run all start at 7:30 a.m.

By late March the Gulf Coast is warming and humid mornings are the norm, so this half rewards patience more than aggression. Start slower than feels right, drink at every opportunity and let the final three miles decide your time. Runners chasing a personal best may prefer the 10K, where the shorter exposure to the conditions keeps the effort manageable. For a first half marathon, twelve weeks with a progressive long run and one weekly session at goal pace is a realistic path to the finish line.
