The 7th Annual Hippo Stampede 5K takes place on April 25, 2026, in Hutto, Texas at 1001 County Road 137. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile run rather than a full 5K distance. The race starts at 8:30 AM, giving runners an early morning option before the day heats up. Entry fees range from $20 to $30, making it an affordable local option. This is a straightforward running event suited for those looking for a shorter distance race or a warm-up event before tackling longer distances. Hutto's location in central Texas means runners should plan accordingly for spring weather conditions typical of the region.
