Bayou City Classic 10K
About the Bayou City Classic:
The Bayou City Classic 10k is Houston's premier 10k race and walk! The Bayou City Classic 10k has been a Houston tradition for more than 40 years and attracts more than 2,000 runners, walkers, and volunteers each year. The Bayou City Classic 5k Fun Run & Walk was added in 2012 for more family fun! The event also includes our signature "centipede" contests.
The Bayou City Classic is a family-friendly, all-inclusive event. We have recognized athletes in our Wheel Chair Division for many years and welcome all challenged athletes to join us. We invite EVERYONE to participate. Terrific post race party! Family Friendly Fun!
Why we put on this event:
Proceeds from the Bayou City Classic go toward helping maintain and develop trails for running and walking in our city parks. The trails are available to anyone who lives in or visits Houston looking for a place to exercise or find a green haven away from the hustle and bustle of Houston's big city life. Help preserve the trees! We have donated over $220,000 for the Parks over the past eight years alone to the Houston Parks & Recreation Department.
The next race will be Saturday, March 7, 2026!
