Moonlight Margarita 5K Run
The Moonlight Margarita 5K Run is a nighttime 5K event in Austin, Texas, held on June 4, 2026, at Auditorium Shores on Riverside Drive. The event benefits The Trail Conservancy and the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake and has been held for over two decades.
The course runs through downtown Austin and follows streets that border the Butler Trail, offering waterfront views and city lights. The event takes place in warm evening conditions and is described as a moonlight run that attracts runners, walkers, and trail supporters.
After the run, participants gather for a post-run fiesta that includes margaritas, food from Maudie’s Tex-Mex, and live music. The event is presented with sponsorship from Maudie’s Tex-Mex and supports the nonprofit Trail Conservancy.
Entry for the event is listed at $65. The event combines a short urban course with an evening community gathering focused on the Butler Trail and its stewardship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
