On 4 July 2026, the Texas Bud Heat Wave returns to Mont Belvieu, offering two timed race distances: 5 km and 5 miles (≈ 8 km). The route is mostly flat and road-based, running through Mont Belvieu streets, looping out and back, with starts and finishes at the Wismer Budweiser distributorship. The race often ties into local Fourth of July festivities, with a post-race party, live music, refreshments, and community celebration. Age-group awards, chip timing, and race-day amenities are provided, and walkers are usually permitted in the 5-mile/5K with cutoffs in place. This event is organized by Running Alliance Sport (RAS) and continues the tradition of the Bud Heat Wave series as both a competitive and community event.
