Tomball ISD Superintendent’s Fun Run Moves to February 20, 2027, With 5K, Family Walk and Free Festival
A favorite opportunity for Tomball-area families, students and neighbors to get moving together is arriving a little earlier than originally planned. Tomball Independent School District has announced that its 2027 Superintendent’s Fun Run will now take place Saturday, February 20, one week ahead of its previously scheduled date.
The event brings together Tomball ISD students, teachers, staff, parents and community members for a morning focused on health, wellness and school spirit. With a timed 5K, a one-mile walk and a free family festival, there are ways to participate whether someone enjoys running, prefers a leisurely stroll or simply wants to spend the morning supporting the community.
Registration remains open, and the district is encouraging participants to sign up early to take advantage of discounted registration pricing.
What to Expect at the 2027 Tomball ISD Superintendent’s Fun Run
Organized through the district's Tomball ISD MOVES wellness initiative, the Superintendent’s Fun Run is designed to encourage healthy habits while bringing the community together outside the classroom.
The event is planned for the Tomball Event Center and Tomball ISD Stadium area at 20235 Cypress Rosehill Road, Tomball, TX 77377.
Participants can choose from a timed 5K race covering 3.1 miles or a one-mile walking course around Tomball ISD Stadium. The 5K offers a competitive option for runners, with awards planned for the top three finishers in each classification, while the walk provides an accessible way for families and casual participants to join in.
For those who would rather cheer from the sidelines, the event also includes a free festival inside Tomball ISD Stadium.
Free Family Festival Adds Activities Beyond the Race
The Superintendent’s Fun Run is about more than crossing a finish line. Families can enjoy a morning of activities without having to participate in the race itself.
According to the event's published festival information, activities are expected to include inflatables, a bounce house, a toddler soft-play area, a rock-climbing wall and face painting. Tomball ISD student performances are also planned throughout the event, giving families an opportunity to support local students beyond the running course.
A free Health and Wellness Vendor Fair will feature community partners promoting healthy lifestyles. Spectators will also be able to watch the 5K on the stadium's video board.
Festival activities remain subject to change.
How the Fun Run Supports Tomball ISD Schools
The Superintendent’s Fun Run also serves a purpose beyond encouraging families to be active.
According to the event's registration information, proceeds first cover the costs associated with hosting the race. Any remaining funds are used to support employee health and wellness incentives across Tomball ISD campuses and departments, as well as the Tomball Education Foundation.
The foundation helps support educational opportunities within Tomball ISD, connecting community involvement with the district's broader commitment to students and educators.
For families throughout Tomball, Creekside, Rosehill and surrounding neighborhoods served by Tomball ISD, the event offers a chance to connect with the people who help make their schools and community what they are.
