From the Organizer

This July 4th, join us at Tejas Rodeo in Bulverde, TX for a true Hill Country running experience. Whether you’re chasing a PR, building toward your next half marathon, or just looking for a fun and challenging course, this event delivers.

This year’s race features a 15K and 5K, highlighted by a scenic, rolling route through the Texas Hill Country. Expect a course that’s honest, rewarding, and built for runners who want more than just another flat 5K—while still being welcoming to all paces and experience levels.

A portion of registration fees, 100% of donations, and 100% of sponsorships from the event will benefit Acacia Medical Mission, a nonprofit clinic providing free, high-quality medical care to uninsured and underserved individuals in the Bulverde–Spring Branch community. Your participation helps support critical healthcare access right here at home.

2. Become a Sponsor
Align your business with a high-quality community event while supporting a meaningful local cause.

3. Make a Donation

4. Spread the Word
Bring your run group, training partners, or friends and make it a morning worth showing up for.

To produce an awesome race, we coordinate our efforts and plan well in advance, making it difficult and costly to make changes after registration. Medals, bibs, shirts and other items are ordered months before the race and purchased according to the original information provided during registration. As a result, and similar to other races in the industry, iRun Texas and Split Second Productions does not offer refunds of registration fees for any reason. In addition, release forms and emergency content are specific to the individual participant. Transferring such information would be a liability to the participant as well as the race. This policy applies to individuals with injuries, unexpected business, family emergencies, etc. There are no exceptions.
