Description
Get ready to run, run as fast as you cans—Thinkery's annual Gingerbread Fun Run is back! Join us for a family-friendly run for kids of all ages and abilities. Go as fast as you can as you chase Thinkery’s festive Gingerbread Man around Mueller Lake Park.
Event Details
Plus, enjoy seasonal hands-on activities for the entire family before and after the run, both in the park and inside the museum.
Thinkery is teaming up with Variety – the Children’s Charity of Texas to make sure the 1K run is open and accessible to kids of all ages and abilities. The mostly paved and mostly flat route around Mueller Lake is wheelchair- and walker-accessible, with one unpaved 30-foot section covered in decomposed granite.
*Rain date: Saturday, November 23
Cost:
$25 per Member child (age 2—18)
$30 per non-Member child (age 2—18)
Accompanying adults and toddlers ages 0—23 months may register for free. However, Accompanying Registrations do not receive runner registration benefits; if accompanying adults wish to enter the museum following the run, standard museum entry rates apply.

Reusable Thinkery water bottle
Free museum entrance on the day of the event for the registered child
