Rooted in tradition and full of flavor, this run honors the German heritage of the area once affectionately known as Sauerkraut Bend—Texas’ first historic residential neighborhood.

Post-Race Celebration: All participants, friends, and spectators are invited to celebrate with our runners and sponsors at King William Park and gazebo after the race with music, food, and fun!!!! This isn’t just any 5K—it’s the Wurst 5K in Texas… and it’s going to be the best time you’ve had on two feet. Prost!
