Why run a race in April
The heat starts to come back. April mornings can still be pleasant across much of Texas, but warm, humid days arrive in South and East Texas and on the coast, and spring storms can move a race day. Check the forecast the week of the race and start conservatively if it is warm.
The last busy month of spring. 115 races fill the Texas calendar this April, and 89 of them are on Saturdays, from 5Ks to the last spring halves before summer.
Shorter races from here. After April, Texas racing shifts toward early starts and shorter distances until fall. Plan around it with all 5Ks in Texas, the March races and the May races.
How to choose an April race
- Start with the distance. Use the filters above: of 115 races, 105 with a 5K, 61 with a 10K, 49 with a half marathon, 4 with a full marathon and 8 with an ultra. Many races offer several distances on the same morning. For the full season, see all 5Ks in Texas, 10Ks in Texas, half marathons in Texas and marathons in Texas.
- Stay close or make a trip of it. Races are grouped by region so you can find one near home.
