Kicks off a patriotic running celebration at Eisenhower Park in San Antonio, hosted by Bigfoot Running Company. This festive event features distance options from a Kid’s Dash to 2‑, 4‑, 8‑mile, and the half marathon, all designed to unite runners in a colorful, energetic experience.
Event Context & History
Launched by Bigfoot Running Company as part of its summer-themed series, the Red, White & Blue Half combines small-town feel (fields 100–500 finishers per distance) with polished race-day production. Top finishers receive the signature Bigfoot Trophy, while all participants earn a Texas-themed medal, designer shirt, and chip timing.
Course & Runner Experience
Starting promptly at 7:00 AM CDT, the half marathon and shorter races run on relatively flat, certified road loops through scenic parkland, offering friction-free miles for both personal best seekers and casual runners. Aid stations, music—featuring DJ Sasquatch—and enthusiastic volunteers enhance the experience, along with a finish-line rally that includes post-race snacks, water, and a live DJ.
What Makes It Unique
This race delivers big festive fun with a local feel: holiday-themed swag, a lively post-race celebration, Kid-friendly options, and a course designed for both community runners and PR chasers. It’s not a Boston qualifier, but it stands out as a spirited summer staple filled with energy and Texas pride.
