The Keller Williams Premier Katy Labor Day 5K and Kids K race (formerly known as Back to School 5K) will be held on Labor Day, Monday September 7, 2026 at the Villagio Town Center in Cinco Ranch. The 5K will be a chipped timed race on a certified course with all proceeds benefiting The Ballard House and Ainsley's Angels. All registrants will receive a race shirt and a chipped bib. Registrants that sign up after August 13th are not guaranteed to receive a race shirt, or to receive a shirt in their preferred size. We will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate shirts and shirt sizes for all entries up to race day. Awards will be given for overall winners, masters winners and age group awards for 10-year age groups. The Kids 1K race will not be a timed event but it will be full of fun and participants will receive a prize at the end for finishing.
Race proceeds will benefit The Ballard House and Ainsley's Angels of America. The Ballard House is a Katy, TX facility dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals and their caregivers who travel to Houston, Texas for medical treatment. They offer a temporary, no-cost home away from home, fostering a warm and welcoming environment that prioritizes safety and community. Ainsley’s Angels works to ensure everyone can experience endurance events and aims to build awareness about America's special needs community through inclusion in all aspects of life.
Katy Area Running Club (KARC) is a local 501(c)3 non-profit organization through our association with RRCA serving area runners and the local running community. All runners and walkers are welcomed.
