Tyler Rudolph Run

Tyler Rudolph Run is scheduled for December 19, 2026, in Tyler, Texas, with the Tyler Rudolph Run 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 a.m. One distance, one early start: the event is over well before the middle of the morning, which makes it easy to fit into a December weekend. A 5K on roads suits every level, from walkers to runners looking to close out the year with a fast time.

If this is your first race, the goal is simply to finish running, and three to four weeks of jogging 20 to 30 minutes a few times a week will get you there. If you have raced before, an 8:00 a.m. start means an early alarm and a proper warm-up, ideally 15 minutes of easy running with a few short accelerations before you line up.
