Run Forrest Run 5k
RUN FORREST, RUN! 5K
NOVEMBER 8 · 9 A M
Lace up your running shoes and channel your inner Forrest Gump at our 5K run in Kemah! Starting and finishing at the iconic Kemah Boardwalk, this Forrest-themed race will have you feeling like you "just felt like running."
That’s right! The 5k Furn Run is back. This year’s 5k will be held during the Kemah Boardwalk’s Salute to Military weekend and is proudly benefitting the Gary Sinise Foundation—because that’s what Lt. Dan would want!
Each runner will get a T-Shirt and a medal for running like Forrest and a bag full of swag!
After the race, we have our Forrest Gump look alike contest. Where you can win great prizes - including free shrimp! So come dressed up as your favorite version of Forrest Gump and put on your best good Forrest Gump impression.
Then celebrate a run well done by enjoying some shrimp and seafood at Bubba Gump, and experience all that Kemah Boardwalk has to offer. So, what are we sitting on a park bench waiting for? It’s time to Run, Forrest, Run!
