Jingle Bell Fun Run

Join us for the SIXTH ANNUAL MINDY MOSES 5K MEMORIAL FUN RUN on May 16, 2026 at Clark Park in Bellville. The 5K Memorial Fun Run is a timed race and will begin at 8am. Awards will be provided to winners, T-shirts will also be provided to runners registered by May 2nd. A limited number of t-shirts and merchandise will be available at the run for purchase.

This fund was set up to help support kids and community events in Memory of Mindy.

Texas' Hottest trail race, the Habanero Hundred was born from a summer long-run gone wrong (ask Race Director Cal) and is now one of the largest trail races in the state, held in August every year with options for many distances and the marquee event being the 100-mile distance.

The relay option will also allow you to run with a team, friends, or family to complete this monumental task. In the first year of the event, we only had ONE finisher in the 100 Mile event, Julie Schmal! Ever since we have put our 100mi finishers' names printed on the back of the next year's shirt. Between 2015 and 2024 there have only been 162 finishes of the Habanero Hundred 100mi.

Are you up for the challenge? Maybe start with one of our shorter solo distances or join a team in the highly competitive relay events for either the 100km or 100mi distance relays.

The race is held at the beautiful 7IL ranch just outside of Bellville, Texas. The ranch has been open for more than five generations, and it was opened for public use in 1999. The facility is over 1,150 acres with water/electric and RV hookups as well.

The Habanero Hundred starts at HIGH NOON, and the 30-hour cutoff will end at 6:00 PM on Sunday. All runners will receive an event shirt, the race will be chip-timed, and we will have free pictures for all runners. There will be belt buckles for 100M & 100K finishers, and medals for the 50k, Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k, and Relay Teams.

New for 2026... Announcing the Habanero 135! Because 100 miles was not enough for our veteran Habanero Hundred finishers. We will be announcing additional details in 2026 for this race, which is planned to start on the Friday at 6 PM. Entry is not guaranteed and is reserved for experienced ultra runners. The 135 may not be used by those looking for extra time in the 100 Mile distance.

This is our nighttime party trail run just West of Houston at Stephen F. Austin State Park!

​The trails are wide and mainly gravel/dirt with a few quick elevation changes but a great trail run for beginners to advanced.

​All runners will need both a light and hydration device as mandatory equipment. The trail will be marked with reflectors and ribbons. We are a cupless race so you must carry your own bottle/flask.

Follow park instructions for parking along the right side of the park road, starting at the group dining hall event area and filling back from there.

The group dining hall is where all the action happens; packet pickup, start/finish, spectator hang-out lawn with runners personal area, and our main aid station. A second water refill will be available at halfway at the road crossing.

Extra lights and costumes are encouraged! Sunset is at 7:30 PM.
