Shark Week Showdown
The Shark Week Showdown is an ocean-themed running event taking place at Lake Pflugerville Park in Pflugerville, Texas. Organized by the Bigfoot Running Company, the event features multiple distances and categories for different types of participants. The course utilizes the park's natural terrain, which consists of a mix of pavement, crushed granite, and dirt paths. As the event is held in a public space, participants share the trails with other park users such as cyclists and pedestrians.
The event offers several individual running distances:
- 10K Run (6.22 miles)
- 5K Run (3.11 miles)
- 1 Mile Run
- Kids Dash (50 meters, for ages 10 and under)
- Virtual Run (9.33 miles)
The 5K and 10K races are chip-timed, and results are used to determine awards across various age groups, ranging from 10 and under to 70 and older. The 1 Mile Run and Kids Dash are not timed events. Registered participants for the mile and longer distances receive a themed race shirt and a finisher medal, while the kids' event includes a specific medal and shirt.
The venue provides aid stations along the course for hydration. Participants can also choose a combined volunteer and run entry for the 5K distance, which involves assisting with pre-race packet pickup before participating in the run. Packet pickup is available on-site at the registration tent prior to the event start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
