Mark Seilkop has owned Texas Industrial Sales in Houston for nearly six years. Also a fitness enthusiast, Mark Seilkop regularly engages in the Conoco Phillips Rodeo Run as well as the Sugar Land Turkey Trot.
The Conoco Phillips Rodeo Run has occurred annually since 1988. In 1994, the event began tracking race stats for senior competitors, known as the Masters group, while 2003 saw the men’s, women’s, and wheelchair 10K fields expand to include a 5K event. The 2015 Conoco Phillips Rodeo Run, held in February throughout the downtown Houston area, drew more than 13,000 participants. The run generated $400,000 for the Rodeo Educational Fund and Houston Livestock Show, elevating the event’s total contributions to an estimated $4.5 million.
Kiya Dandena led all 10K runners with a time of 30:44, followed by the Masters male champion and his time of 32:56. The women’s field saw Mary Davies put up a time of 34:53, besting the Masters female winner by just over 2 minutes. Ramiro Bermudez took home the best wheelchair 10K time at 26:55, while 5K champions included Diego Soto, Katherine Thurman, and Kevin Saunders.
