10K Competitive Run
The 10K Competitive Run offers an extended, immersive course that highlights some of the most beautiful landscapes Ennis has to offer.
The first half of the race follows the same route as the 5K, allowing runners to establish their pace before branching off onto a stunning off-concrete section. From there, runners traverse along the gorgeous shores of Lake Clark, continue toward the Ennis Municipal Airport, loop back along the lake dam, and return to the finish line.
This course features a mix of paved and natural terrain, combining open views, water scenery, and peaceful trails. The 10K is fully timed and ideal for runners seeking a longer challenge with standout scenery.
Strollers are allowed in the 10K Competitive Run; however, not recommended. Participants should be aware that the grassy section at Kachina Prairie and occasional course congestion may make maneuvering more challenging. For safety, we recommend starting toward the back of the pack and using caution through narrower or uneven areas of the course.

5K Kid Run (13 & under)
The Kids 5K (Under 13) gives young runners the opportunity to experience the excitement of race day on the same official 5K course as adult participants.

5K Fun Run / Walk
The 5K Fun Run / Walk follows the exact same scenic course as the 5K Competitive Run—just without the pressure of racing the clock. Whether you’re walking, jogging, pushing a stroller, or enjoying the views at your own pace, this event is all about fun, movement, and soaking in the Bluebonnet Run experience.
Participants will have up to 2 hours to complete the 5K. All Fun Run / Walk participants start at a separate, later start time than the competitive 5K.

Perfect for families, casual runners, and anyone who wants to be part of race day without racing.
PLEASE NOTE: THE 5K FUN RUN / WALK IS OFFERED AT A LOWER REGISTRATION PRICE THAN THE COMPETITIVE RACES. PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE A SHIRT; FINISHER MEDALS ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND RACE BIB ARE NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS REGISTRATION.
