The Wiener Run 5K & 10K - Houston

The Wiener Run takes place on May 16, 2026 at Oyster Creek Park in Sugar Land, Texas. The event includes in-person and virtual options and features post-race food service at the finish line.

• Volunteer then Run 5K

The 5K and 10K are chip timed and include awards. Overall winners receive a Bigfoot Trophy and first masters (40+) receive a recognition pin. Standard age group awards are given for the 5K and 10K. Age groups span 10 and under through 70 plus with typical first, second, and third place medals.

Race amenities listed by the organizer include finisher medals, race shirts, a live DJ, live awards, aid stations on course, and a free hot dog and beverage provided at the finish line. The course surface is a mix of pavement, crushed granite, and grass paths. The event notes that activities take place in public parks so participants should share the path with dog walkers and picnickers. Packet pickup is available on race day and shirt size guarantee requires registration at least ten days before race day.

Volunteer roles are offered with several compensation options; the Volunteer then Run option provides a chip timed bib, shirt, and finisher medal and is limited to the first five volunteers. The organizer states the event proceeds rain or shine and that there are donations to dog rescue efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
