Event Description
The Conservancy’s 15th Annual Run in the Park offers a 5K run, a 3K walk and a 1K Kids’ Run. Runners and joggers wind through a scenic course below the Park’s historic live oak canopy. The run begins and ends at Molly Ann Smith Plaza near the Jones Reflection Pool where family and friends cheer on participants. A post-race party will feature food, drinks, music and more!
The 5K run will be chip timed and the overall female and male winners of 7 varying age groups will receive great prizes (Overall Male & Female, 19 & Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+). The top three female and male winners of the Kids' Run also receive medals. **If you do not wish to participate in the timed event, please sign up for the walk. You can still run, but you will not receive a timing chip.
All proceeds from Run in the Park benefit Hermann Park Conservancy's stewardship and improvement efforts for one of Houston's most beloved greenspaces.

We strongly recommend you register and pick up your packet in advance as race day registration can be hectic and does not guarantee your preferred shirt size. The most important things included with the packet are race number bib (with a bib chip for 5K runners) and t-shirt. You may send someone else to pick up your packet for you. It is recommended that they have a copy of your receipt for online registration and know the exact name used for registration
