The Best Races events at Lady Bird Johnson Park
The Best Races is staging multiple runs at Lady Bird Johnson Park in San Antonio on May 23, 2026. The program includes road distances, a family one mile, and a virtual option that can be completed at any location using a tracking device.
The event uses a capped wave format with limited spaces per wave; participants may choose a wave on a first come, first serve basis. Timing is optional: runners may self‑record times with apps or request assistance from on-course coordinators. No timing chips are used.
Swag is shipped to participants in the United States; race bibs are provided on race day. The participant package may include a running T-shirt, an optional technical shirt upgrade for an additional fee, a finisher medal and towel, a digital training pack, and an online certificate of completion. Final race details and course maps are distributed by email before the event.
A virtual registration option provides a digital training pack and a medal upon submission of results. Organizers operate a charity initiative that donates one dollar for each mile logged after the race to partner charities; fundraising is optional. The event lists commercial sponsors and invites volunteers and local run club participation as part of its community activities.
