Run the Wild: A Summer Trail Running Celebration
Sunday, July 26, 2026, at Memorial Park, Houston, TX. This community trail running event brings together Houston’s road, trail, ultra, and social running communities for a morning of miles, connection, and summer fun. It's a welcoming, no-drop group run experience with guided routes, relaxed pace groups, and plenty of support. Whether you are new to trails, trail-curious, training for your next ultra, or just looking for a fun community morning, this event is for you.
Trail Racing Over Texas (TROT) will be showcasing part of the route for the upcoming Houston Ultra Trail, coming to Memorial Park in February. Come preview the trails, meet other runners, ask questions, and get excited for Houston’s first big ultra trail running experience.
After the run, stick around for breakfast tacos, drinks, snacks, giveaways, socializing, and good vibes. This event is hosted in collaboration with an incredible lineup of Houston running groups and community partners, including:
