Earth Day Houston 5K
The Earth Day Houston 5K began 5 years ago to
raise awareness on air pollution issues in the Houston area. The
2010 event will once again begin and end at Discovery Green in
downtown Houston. The race will be a chip-timed run on a flat,
fast loop course certified by USATF. There will also be a 5K Walk
and a Kids Run.
