Hippo Dash 5K 2026

The Hippo Dash 5K begins in the morning at 400 Park Ave in Hutto, Texas, offering a 5K Run/Walk and a Kids Dash. The main race follows a flat, paved, marked park course, suitable for walkers, newer runners, and those seeking timed results on a straightforward route. Registration provides a 5K training plan, a custom shirt, and a medal. The race embraces Hutto’s hippo theme with a "Stampede over the Bridges Hippos" element and a Finish Line Hippo Dance Party. The Kids Dash is open to ages 3 to 10, with costumes encouraged. The event also benefits the Hungry Hippo Drive for the Hutto Resource Center Food Pantry, requesting non-perishable dessert items like boxed cake mix, canned frosting, and canned pie or fruit filling.
