About the Tomato Trail 5k Run
The race runs through historic downtown Yoakum and serves as the opening event for the local tomato festival, which celebrates the area's deep roots in tomato farming. The course winds past the kind of old storefronts and streets that give a small town its shape. A costume contest is part of the morning, with runners encouraged to show up in reds and greens.
Check-in and a warm-up period happen before the start, and an awards ceremony follows shortly after. The race feeds directly into the festival parade later that morning, so there is reason to stick around after you finish.

The Tomato Trail 5k Run has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
