Free 5k- Wellness Run in the Heights

8 AM again. The nonprofit Wellness Run has expanded their free 5k running series to the Heights area and plan to add more locations in the future. The Height series rotates monthly on the first Sunday of the month. A mixture of walkers, joggers, and competitive runners participates.

The course begins at the University of Houston Downtown Daly Parking Lot and is out and back on the paved Heights Hike & Bike Trail and is not very crowded since there are typically 100-300 runners participating at the Heights run.

Preregistration is required for the event if you want to be chip timed. It is free.

When you arrive on race day, check in at the preregistered table and receive your bib. No waiting, no hassle!

Online registration for a Sunday run, typically opens a couple of weeks before the event. We will notify you when registration opens. Furthermore, online registration closes usually on the Thursday before the Sunday event. If you want to be chip timed then you must preregister online.

You can still run the course if you do not preregister online.

Also, we encourage that you to donate occasionally for this worthy cause! Onsite volunteers are usually needed as well.
