New this year: Centipede Drawings, and Participation
Awards! The HEB Bayou City Classic 10K comes to the streets of downtown
Houston on Saturday, March 12, at 7:50 a.m. for the 27th year.
Mayor White and Lisa Foronda will start and run in the event,
which will be led by an entertaining array of Art Cars, walkers,
joggers, wheelchairs and party animals. The party animals will
be in the form of centipedes (at least six attached persons in
costume) and individuals in costumes. Music and entertainment
all along the course make the 6.2 miles fly by, and then the
real party begins with more terrific music and a hearty
breakfast buffet on the steps of City Hall in Hermann Square.
Get fit, have fun, and help support fitness improvements in our
Houston Parks all in one great morning! Along with music, great food and door prizes at the post event
party, title sponsor HEB will award 10 $100 gift cards by random
drawing to members of Centipede teams and individual costume
participants, so plan your theme and costume now! Go to www.bayoucityclassic.org for Centipede
categories and info. A Corporate Award, the coveted Croc Cup, and bragging rights go
to the company that has the most employees participate in the
event, so pass the word to HR at your company. And in
recognition of City involvement this year, there will be a
special award presented to the City of Houston department with
the most employee participants. Now that is something for
everyone! HEB Bayou City Classic 10K proceeds benefit Houston parks. This
community event of fun and fitness is brought to you by the
Houston Area Road Runners Association, the Mayor's Office of
Special Events and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department,
and is generously sponsored by HEB, and a host of fine
businesses supporting fitness, fun and our city parks. The
event is part of the Mayor's Get Moving Houston physical fitness
challenge to increase health and fitness awareness. For more
