🍔Hey Houston...the run/walk event you’ve dreamed about has finally arrived!

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.

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.

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? Join our national virtual run and celebrate Whataburger fandom wherever you are, honoring your hometown Whataburger.

✨Don’t miss your chance to run for the love of burgers, community, and a whole lot of fun. Grab your Spicy Ketchup and let’s go! Register now and be part of this Whataburger celebration!
