The Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA) is an all volunteer, nonprofit organization of runners dedicated to provide, support and advocate for the running community of Southeast Texas. We were founded in 1993 to promote running as a competitive sport and a healthful exercise in the greater Houston area.
The 42nd running of the Bayou City Classic 10K, Texas' oldest 10K race, will take place in front of City Hall on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 8AM. The 5K Fun Run/Walk will start at 8:20AM.
100% of the proceeds are donated to the Houston Parks & Recreation Department to improve our city parks and preserve our trees.
This family friendly, non-profit event is organized by the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA), an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to promote running as a competitive sport and a healthful exercise. The race has donated over $230,000 for the Parks over the previous five years!
Fun on the run: Run in costume - Compete in our signature "Centipede" contest! (You can also be a winner running in costume by yourself or with any combo of runners!)
Fun after the run: Terrific post race party with food and beverages galore (including Saint Arnold's beer)!
