About
Hippo Dash 5K is a family run and walk held in Hutto, Texas, on November 7, 2026. The 5K (3.1 miles) and a one-mile Kids Dash both start at 8 a.m. Entry covers a flat, marked course, timed results, medals and custom shirts, plus raffle prizes and awards.
Flat and short is a friendly combination, and registration even includes a 5K training program, so this works well as a first race. Build up with three runs a week and you will be ready; runners with more behind them will find the profile fast enough for a personal best attempt. A dance party follows the finish, and because the one-mile option starts at the same time, families can race and still be done together.
