  Get ready to start your day with the eighth annual Close the Loop 5K!

  Join us in Houston, Texas on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7 a.m. CST, as we embark on a morning run/walk during PSTM26. Lace-up your sneakers and join plastic surgeons, patients, office staff, and supporters from across the globe as we come together to raise awareness and funds for breast reconstruction, charitable care and groundbreaking research.

  Registration for the Close the Loop 5K will open on May 20, 2026.

  As the sun rises, the excitement begins! Starting at 7 a.m., the #BRA5K will take place. Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation fuels the Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) Campaign of The Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF), empowering us to make a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.

  Breast cancer is a devastating disease, affecting approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States. Breast reconstruction is a very personal choice — every woman should have access to her options before she has to make a decision. Profits generated are awarded to organizations focused on awareness and assistance efforts of women fighting breast cancer or pursuing breast reconstructive surgery. Thanks to YOU, The Plastic Surgery Foundation's BRA Program has allocated 188 grants, totaling over $2 million in awards.

  Mark your calendars, gather your gear, and join us for an unforgettable morning. See you at this year’s race!

  Run, Walk, Cheer or Donate!

  Whether you're running, walking, cheering from the sidelines (or the couch!), or donating, your support is invaluable! Join us for our 5K for Breast Reconstruction Awareness and help us empower individuals impacted by breast cancer to reclaim their bodies and their lives after breast cancer. Register as an individual, join a team (no limit on team size!), or become a team captain.

  Not a runner? No problem! Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

  Support our cause today and help us spread awareness, one step (or dollar!) at a time!

  Help Us Close The Loop: Refer Friends & Earn a Refund!

  Want to make an even bigger impact at the Close The Loop 5k for Breast Reconstruction Awareness? It's simple: invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join you!

  This year, we're excited to offer referral rewards! Share your unique referral code, and when five people register using your code, you'll receive a $40 refund on your registration fee! That's right, running for a cause can actually save you money!

  Help us spread awareness, build an even stronger community, and reach our fundraising goals. The more, the merrier (and the more funds raised for Breast Reconstruction Awareness)!

  Share your referral code today and let's Close The Loop together!

  UPDATE: At this year’s event, runners will be required to wait until the light changes to cross the intersection with Poydras St. Staff and volunteers will be course markers. This race is being treated as a fun run, and there are no street closures.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

  COSTUME CONTEST

  At the heart of the "Day of the Dead Half Marathon: Texas Parks Edition" is an exciting costume contest that invites runners to fully embrace the spirit of Dia de los Muertos. Before the race kicks off, participants gather at the starting area, showcasing their most creative and vibrant costumes. From intricately painted calavera faces to elaborate skeletal attire, the costumes transform the park into a colorful celebration of life and memory. A panel of judges evaluates the costumes based on creativity, authenticity, and overall impact. The winner is awarded the coveted "Day of the Dead Best Costume Award," along with a special prize package, right before the race begins. This pre-race contest adds an extra layer of excitement and camaraderie, encouraging participants to run in style and celebrate in true Day of the Dead fashion from the very start.

  Join in all the festivities you have come to expect from a Bigfoot Running Company event. Awesome medals, cool Tee's, high energy staff, 100% focus on participant experience, live awards, and lets not forget the coveted Bigfoot Trophy's. Snacks and refreshments will be available when you finish at the race rally tent. Our DJ will be playing all the hits and announcing every runner. All award winners will be announced and recognized for their accomplishments. Aid stations will be on the course to provide water and to assist should you have any concerns during your run.
