Gear up, because Badass Texas isn’t just a race—it’s a test of grit, guts, and glory. Whether you're crushing the Half, the 10K, or going all-out in the 5K, this course isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll grind it out along the Brazos River, power through the hills of Cameron Park, East Brazos Park, and charge across the finish line in Heritage Square—all with epic Texas views and elevation that’ll make you earn every step.

Kick things off Saturday night at the Shakeout Run, hosted by our friends at Waco Running Company at the Even Hotel—because nothing says “race ready” like good vibes, cold drinks, and badass company.

Race day starts and finishes at Heritage Square in Downtown Waco on Sunday morning, where the real party begins: cross that finish line like the legend you are and head straight into the Finisher Fest—complete with music, beer, badass energy, and an after-party you won’t forget.

Still got fuel in the tank? Cool off and turn up at the Badass Pool Party at Even Hotel. Two pools, DJ, hot tub, cold drinks, games, prizes… and yes, more badassery.

Make it a full weekend of racing and exploring—check out Waco’s museums, vineyards, and Magnolia hot spots while you’re in town for Memorial Day Weekend.

Take the challenge. Earn the title. Be BADASS TEXAS.
