Run For Health 5K Fun Run

On November 14, 2026, Run For Health will stage its eleventh annual 5K Run/Walk, an invigorating community event set to take place at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church on Upper Bay Road in Houston. The certified course (USATF #TX 15035 ETM) winds through scenic neighborhoods and offers runners a flat yet engaging route that showcases the city's vibrant landscapes.
Participants can look forward to a spirited start line, with the race attracting both serious competitors and casual walkers eager to enjoy the day’s festivities. As they cross the finish line back at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, athletes will be greeted by an array of vendors offering giveaways and refreshments. The event boasts exciting prizes for top performers; $300 in cash is up for grabs for first-place male and female runners.
In addition to the competitive spirit, Run For Health emphasizes community involvement and support. All proceeds from this year’s race benefit Anchor Point, a crucial local resource that provides aid and hope to families facing challenges such as teen pregnancy, child welfare issues, adoption considerations, and more. This event not only promotes physical health but also fosters a sense of unity and purpose among the Houston community.
The day promises an uplifting atmosphere with live music, family-friendly activities, and recognition for all participants who cross the finish line. Medals are awarded to every runner, while trophies will be presented to the top three in each age division. It’s an event that celebrates health and community engagement on a grand scale.
Join us as we run together towards betterment and support for those in need.
