Ready, set, register!
It’s time to sign up for the third annual Texas Children’s Hospital and Houston Marathon Foundation Family Fun Run. Families with children of all abilities are invited to participate in the run at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 11 at Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus.
The Family Fun Run will include both a 1K and 3K course. Participants – including those who need walkers and wheelchairs – are welcome. There will not be prizes given to top finishers as all participants will receive an award for taking part in an event designed to educate and encourage Houston-area families to adopt active, healthy lifestyles. Following the run, families can enjoy the H-E-B sponsored Family Fun Zone. The zone will be packed with snacks, special guests and more than 25 attractions.
Lesli Rossler, the education coordinator for ambulatory services at West Campus, has participated in the run with her teenage son for the past two years and plans on signing up again this year.
“It’s a great event for the whole family,” Rossler said. “It supports wellness and focuses on the family at the same time.”
Join Rossler, Texas Children’s leaders and thousands of others in the fun and register today for the Family Fun Run. Registration can be completed online at http://www.texaschildrens.org/funrun/ or https://secure.marathonguide.com/register/TexasChildrensRun. The deadline to register is noon Monday, March 30.
Additional information, including training guides, videos and pictures from last year’s event, can be found at the texaschildrens.org website listed above.
Good luck and happy running!
