A seasoned executive, Mark Seilkop brings more than two decades of leadership experience to his role as owner of Texas Industrial Sales in Houston. Aside from his career, Mark Seilkop is an avid runner who has participated in the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run.
The ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run has benefited the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Education Fund since its inception 28 years ago. The event, which consists of a competitive 10K and noncompetitive 5K run/walk, has awarded $4.5 million in scholarships to Texas high school students. 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.
