About the Warrior Waterfront 5K
The course runs through Las Colonias Park along the waterfront, on trails that shift between grass, packed dirt, and pavement. The route loops back on itself, which means spectators can catch runners more than once without moving far. The surroundings are open and park-like, with the river nearby the whole way.
Bib pickup is race morning at the park shelter, with the window closing before the start. The race runs alongside a high school cross country invitational, so the park fills up early with athletes, coaches, and families. After finishing, there is food at the waterfront, and zip line and water activities are available on site.

The Warrior Waterfront 5K 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 Jul 27, 2026.
