Houston Running Company’s (HRC) Summer Dash Series is back and bigger than ever – kicking off with the Lemonade Dash in Houston (where its story began) on Saturday, June 7. This is the first event in HRC’s 3-event series that also includes the Popsicle Dash (July 12) and Watermelon Dash (August 9) – both also in Houston.
And exciting news – this series is now expanding – and all three events will also take place in Dallas and Houston this year for the very first time!
For Houston area residents, all are invited to join HRC Saturday, June 7 starting and ending at Karbach Brewing Company, 2032 Karbach Street in Houston; free parking will be available there and at Delmar Stadium.

"The Summer Dash Series began in 2020 with the idea of turning one of the hottest months of the year into something runners and fitness enthusiasts could look forward to," said HRC co-founder Randi Schooley. "We’ve been fortunate to create this series that is full of positive energy, and makes every mile feel like a celebration! We’re also thrilled to be expanding into Dallas and Austin to bring the Summer Dash vibes to more people in the great state of Texas!”
