Welcome to the Houston Roast Run & Comedy Show, where endurance meets embarrassment and punchlines come with a side of lactic acid.

This one-of-a-kind event features a 5K(ish) on the scenic Buffalo Bayou Trails… but with a twist. Along the course, you’ll be heckled (err, motivated) by professional comedians stationed throughout the route, armed with microphones and zero chill. They’ll be roasting your stride, your outfit, and probably your life choices, all in good fun. (Mostly.)

After you've limped through the finish line and rebuilt your ego, stick around for a post-race comedy show featuring three of Houston’s top comedians. Prefer to skip the cardio and go straight to the comedy? You can do that too—comedy show-only tickets are available.

This is more than just a race—it’s an opportunity to honor and support disabled veterans by helping them reconnect with the healing power of nature in a community that understands their struggles.

Veterans with physical injuries and those with invisible wounds of war come together through KPN to find healing, support, and camaraderie. The ODV’s programs center around outdoor adventures and therapeutic activities, empowering veterans to overcome challenges and rediscover their independence.

Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation will directly contribute to a cause that changes lives. Together, we can give back to those who’ve given so much for our freedom.

The race will be produced and hosted by Bigfoot Running Company, ensuring an exciting and well-organized event filled with all the fun and energy that come with a Bigfoot event. Expect a lively atmosphere and plenty of support throughout your race.
