Niekro Foundation Aneurysm & AVM Awareness 5K - Houston
The Niekro Aneurysm & AVM Foundation holds its 6th annual awareness 5K from September 19 through October 4, 2026. The event includes a nationwide virtual 5K and a first-ever in-person Houston 5K at Sugar Land Memorial Park on October 4, 2026.
Participation options listed for the event include a virtual 5K walk, virtual 5K run, virtual 5K cycle, virtual 5K roll, and the in-person 5K in Houston. Registration fees are $35 for virtual entries and $40 for the in-person Houston 5K. Registration open and close dates vary by event and are provided for each entry type.
The event supports AVM and aneurysm awareness, funds medical research, and aims to connect patients and caregivers with community resources. Participants may create personal fundraising pages and teams to raise awareness and support; sharing those pages can increase fundraising and may earn Niekro Foundation swag.
To receive a race shirt prior to the event, participants who register by midnight on September 8 will be mailed their shirt. The foundation mailing address is 2401 Fountain View Dr, Ste 464, PMB 12, Houston, TX 77057. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
