Run For Health 5K - Houston
Run For Health is the 11th annual 5K run/walk held in Houston, originating and finishing at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 18220 Upper Bay Road. The race uses a USATF certified course (TX15035) in Nassau Bay and follows a flat route that passes through Nassau Bay and toward Clear Lake.
Prizes include a $300 cash award for the overall male and female winners, trophies for the top three in each of nine age divisions, and commemorative medals for all finishers. The nine age divisions are under 10, 11–15, 16–21, 22–30, 31–40, 41–50, 51–60, 61–69, and 70+.
Electronic timing is provided by Campbell Timing Systems; timing strips are on the race bib and must be worn on the front of the shirt. The event features vendor booths, raffle prizes, and sponsor presence. Shirts are provided to the first 200 registered participants.
Registration fees are listed as $35 initially, increasing to $40 after October 1 and to $45 on race day. Race restrictions require that all participants be registered; adults accompanying children must also be registered. The course is closed to bikes, skateboards, rollerblades, double-wide strollers, and animals.
