Event Description
The year 2020 has been met with many challenges. To do our part, we've decided to host a virtual race not only to get people encouraged to work towards overall health during this time of quarantine, but to also support organizations that are essential to helping us get through this challenging time.
Donations to the Houston Food Bank
10% of all race sales will go directly to the Houston Food Bank to support the organization's operations. If you don't want to sign up for the race, we still encourage you to donate what you can to the organization (click the donate button at the top). Our goal is to raise $1,000 in donations, not including the portion raised from ticket sales.
Race Options
There's a free race option and a paid race option. The free race allows you to participate, join the Mint Health & Wellness Active Facebook Group and post your results to our leader board. The paid option allows you to receive the race swag bundle which includes a race bib, t-shirt and a race medal (for lifetime bragging rights and pictures).
Never done a virtual race? Here's how it works:
- Register by clicking the sign up button
- Run/walk/bike your 5k (3.1 miles), 10k (6.2 miles) or 1 miler by July 31st 2020 at your socially responsible location whether on the treadmill, in your neighborhood on a local tract or trail. Please note that the race is not restricted to any geographical area. It can be completed anywhere you are!

For those that sign up for the paid races: Race swag (t-shirts, medals & bibs) will start shipping once registration ends. Our goal is to get your race swag to you before the race begins. You can complete your race anytime between now and July 31st....before or after receiving your race swag! (More details on shipping in the Race Swag section)
