2026 Annual HBA Eikenburg 8K Fun Run
The Houston Bar Association is seeking volunteers for their 2026 Annual Eikenburg 8K Fun Run. All HPA volunteers will get breakfast refreshments and a HPA T-shirt to wear and keep. We had a blast last year, so why don't you join us? Two board members and at least one HPA member is running in the 8K, so let's cheer them on.
The annual HBA Eikenburg Fun Run is back on Saturday, February 21, 2026. The event features an 8K run, including an 8K wheelchair division, and a non-competitive one-mile family walk. Since 1986, the Houston Bar Association has raised nearly $2 Million for the Pursuit Center, a private non-profit United Way agency dedicated to its mission to promote choice, growth, and independence for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism.
We are proud of our long-standing partnership with The Center for Pursuit and look forward to their continued success and growth in our Houston community. Please join us in continuing to support this worthwhile cause!
