Whether you want to participate in the competitive 5K, take a family friendly stroll at your own pace through a spectacular, scenic park or if you have a kid that wants to have fun in a Kids K, the Run to Cure HD is the event for you.
The 8th Annual Run to Cure Huntington's Disease presented by HCSS is scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2009 with the competitive 5K starting at 8:30am, the family walk starting at 9:00am and the kids K at 9:30am in beautiful Oyster Creek Park in Sugarland, TX.
Always a spectacular event for people of all ages, over the past three years the Run To Cure HD has gained favor within the Houston area's elite running community by will featuring a grand prize for the overall male and female winners, including expense paid trips for the male and female race champions to the Carlsbad Marathon in sunny San Diego, CA. in January, 2010!
In addition to one of the Houston Area's most competitive 5Ks, the Run to Cure HD also is great for families with a non-competitive 5K run/walk, and the always popular Kids K.
2008 overall female champion, Lea Carruthers went on to finish 31st in the Carlsbad 1/2 marathon, and Luis Armenteros, the 2007 Men's overall champion commented, "the race itself was quite a bit of hard work, but well worth it as it supports a great cause. I am also glad to see that it is getting bigger and better every year and that all of the volunteers were so friendly and supportive."
When the running finishes, the party is just beginning. Runners that have participated in this race in previous years know that the HDSA Run to Cure HD features one of the best post race parties in America! With great food, cold drinks and the scenic beauty of Oyster Creek Park providing the venue, there is no place that you would rather be on October 10th!
Race registration will be available soon, but mark your calendars today!
