Scholarships have made it possible for students to continue their education at institutions, such as the University of Texas and Rice University.
The annual tradition will continue supporting local students by hosting its 2016 race on February 27th. The race, a rain or shine event, begins at the intersection of Walker and Bagby. Participants will travel along Allen Parkway and loop back around at Memorial and Montrose for the 10K and 5K, respectively. Following the main event is a party that continues on through noon with refreshments and entertainment.
