Run Project

The group chat has talked about doing a race together long enough. 😂
Big Texas Run gives you options: run the 5K,10K or 15K, or make it a team effort with the 3-person 15K Relay—one 5K loop each. Then meet back up at Texas Live! for the post-race celebration. 🍻🎶If this is your crew’s first Big Texas Run, this might be the year.

Heads up: prices increase Monday.

🐱 Every Finish Can Help a Fresh Start

For some cats in our community, a second chance starts with one person choosing to help.

That’s why we’re proud to continue supporting Animal Rescue Crusaders of Texas as a Featured Charity Partner of Too Hot To Handle. ARC helps local cats receive the care, foster support, and opportunity they need to find safe, loving homes.

When you join us on September 12, make race day mean a little more—donate to ARC or sign up to volunteer alongside their team. https://raceroster.com/events/2026/110343/2026-run-project-volunteer-registration

❤️ Your miles can help bring more happy endings to local cats.

🥧 WILL RUN FOR PIE. 🎃

And at Pumpkin Spice, we mean it.

Cross the finish line and celebrate those miles with a FREE Mindy Lu’s Pumpkin Spice Fried Pie! Because whether you tackle 13.1, 6.2 or 3.1 miles, we think your finish deserves something sweet. 😋

Run. Finish. Pie. That’s fall math we can get behind.
