Fundraiser for Welcome Sports Ministry, an outreach of Welcome Lutheran Church, providing completely free martial arts lessons focused on self defense for all ages. This year will be DIFFERENT. While we will still offer a timed format for those wishing to keep track of their official run times, this Fun Run will be a Capture the Flag event. Come and join us to experience a beautiful country run/walk past open pastures and farm animals while raising money for a wonderful community outreach program.
Race Divisions for Child 6 and Under, Youth 7-9, 10-14 M/F, 15-19 M/F, 20-34 M/F. 35-49 M/F, 50-64 M/F, and Seniors 65 and Over. Race medals for all participants. Capture the flag winners in each race division will receive a prize. Special Awards for top OVERALL Male and Female timed finishers.
No prizes for costumes but if you want to DRESS LIKE A NINJA, that's cool, too.

This is our nighttime party trail run just West of Houston at Stephen F. Austin State Park!
The trails are wide and mainly gravel/dirt with a few quick elevation changes but a great trail run for beginners to advanced.
All runners will need both a light and hydration device as mandatory equipment. The trail will be marked with reflectors and ribbons. We are a cupless race so you must carry your own bottle/flask.
Follow park instructions for parking along the right side of the park road, starting at the group dining hall event area and filling back from there.
The group dining hall is where all the action happens; packet pickup, start/finish, spectator hang-out lawn with runners personal area, and our main aid station. A second water refill will be available at halfway at the road crossing.
Extra lights and costumes are encouraged! Sunset is at 7:30 PM.
