ROAD OR TRAIL??
WHICH PATH WILL YOU PICK?
We are hereby declaring June 5th as "San Antonio Running Day"! Join us for the San Antonio Run Day 5K, a celebration of Global Running Day and our local running community! Held in the heart of San Antonio at McAllister Park (Pavilion #5), this race brings runners of all levels together, whether you love the road or the dirt, to embrace the joy of running and the spirit of unity.
As a continuation of the energy from Global Run Day on June 2rd, the San Antonio Run Day 5K is more than just a race—it's a tribute to the runners, running groups, and fitness enthusiasts that make our city thrive. Whether you're a seasoned runner or taking your first steps, this event welcomes everyone to lace up and share in the passion for running.
Presented by iRun, San Antonio's local running store!
Mother Nature may have rained on our trails but we are not going to give up! We are bringing the trail option back for 2027! Like the smooth, fast feel of the road? Register for the road 5k. If you prefer the rugged rocks and roots of the dirt, register for the trail 5k!
Prizes will be awarded to the top male/female overall and masters for road and for trail.
Age Group Awards: Age group awards will be given to the first and second place male and female in 10 year increments up to the 70+ category.
Awards will be posted by 8:30am so you can collect your award at the iRun tent before you leave. We don't want to interrupt your post race fun so, we will not have an awards ceremony, just grab you award and enjoy your day!
Highlights of the Event:
Local Love: Celebrate San Antonio's running culture with friends, family, and fellow runners.
Community Vibes: Connect with local running groups, organizations, & businesses that inspire and support the sport in our city.
