Houston, TX
Entry is $45 now and rises to $50 after Oct 1, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
This one runs on Thanksgiving, but not at dawn. The course is timed, so you get a real result, and the post-race spread leans into the holiday: beer and pie waiting at the finish. It sits inside a larger Houston holiday racing series, so the crowd tends to know each other and the vibe around the finish area shows it.
