Race Information

Whataburger Whatarun 5k and 10k

Get ready for a first-of-its-kind celebration where flavor meets fitness and running never tasted so good! We’re celebrating 75 years of Whataburger in a big way, and you’re invited to join the fun on Saturday, November 8th, and Sunday, November 9th for two mornings packed with orange-and-white striped fun, iconic officially licensed race swag, and unforgettable Whataburger vibes—just like you like it.

Your New Favorite Combo: Running + Whataburger.

Whether you're running, walking (or just in it for the swag), this experience is serving up a deliciously fun time for the whole family. Start your morning strong, move your way through a flat and fast, out-and-back course on Park Row Drive at the Addicks Park and Ride, right off of I-10 in the Energy Corridor District, just a short drive from the Houston Inner Loop and West Houston suburbs, and finish with a delicious side of celebration.

🔥 All registered participants will receive:

🏅 An official, can’t-miss finisher medal (w/ glitter!)

👕 Limited-edition 85 poly/15 cotton tech shirt or tank featuring iconic Whataburger style

🎽 Commemorative inaugural event timed race bib

🍔 Post-race treats and refreshments (yes, including Whataburger goodies from the Whataburger food truck!)

📸 Instagram-worthy photo ops with Whataburger backdrops, props, including an appearance from Whataguy!

🎉 A fun-filled experience you won’t soon forget…

This experience is limited to 2,000 participants each event day, and with Whataburger fans from all over ready to join the fun, spots are sure to disappear fast. Can’t make it to Houston?

😄 Why We Like This Run
✅ Epic scenery
✅ The "Race-Cation" lifestyle

Why settle for a finisher’s medal and a banana in a parking lot when you could run amongst the red rock canyons of Zion National Park, through the majestic landscapes bordering Glacier National Park, or in the shadow of Rocky Mountain National Park?
