About the Event

In March 2026, Run For the Youth of Washington County will be hosting the 48th Annual Blue Bell Fun Run. This event is fun for people of all ages. We offer individual events in the Kids' 1-Mile Run for those 10 and under, a 5K walk or run, a 10K run, and a 1/2 marathon for those desiring a greater challenge. Runners will work their way through the beautiful hills of Brenham surrounded by bluebonnets and other wildflowers.

Every runner gets all the Blue Bell ice cream that he/she can eat at the race. Each runner will also receive a participant t-shirt and participant medal. Half marathon participants will receive an additional 13.1 t-shirt and a 13.1 medal.

Starting in 1978, this race began to benefit the Brenham High School Athletic program and did so for many years. Today, the run serves a broader community by fostering the physical health of and instilling good character in the youth of Washington County. Run for the Youth of Washington County sponsors events like the Blue Bell Fun Run, and conducts and provides charitable and other non-profit programs and activities in Washington County. Brenham High School athletes serve as volunteers for the race.

Family/Group Discount: Families or friends with 4 or more members will receive $5 off for each participant. Participants must be registered in one transaction to receive the discount - just click add another registrant.
