About

Walt Cunningham Angels' Race for Space 5k/10k is an annual Houston, Texas event, held on October 24, 2026 with two timed distances. The 10K starts at 7 a.m. and the timed 5K (3.1 miles) follows at 7:30 a.m., alongside races suited to all ages including a family run. It honors Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham.

Proceeds support Be An Angel, an organization working to improve the lives of children with special needs through adapted services. The early start times are worth planning around: a 7 a.m. gun means being on site well before dawn has fully lifted. If the 10K is your goal, a ten-week build with a weekly long run of six to eight miles and one threshold session will prepare you properly for the distance.
