Description
The San Felipe Shootout is an exciting race format with a very unique twist on racing. The event will consist of three separate races; the 5k, 10k, and Half Marathon. The SHOOTOUT (triple) combines all races back-to-back-to-back with the 5k, 10k, and Half Marathon for a cumulative time. The faster you run, the more break you have between events. Shootout runners must start each race at the gun.
SFA State Park is just a short drive from Houston. Experience the Nature of Texas’ first colony, nestled on the banks of the Brazos River, the park provides the opportunity to get up close to nature. Located 30 minutes from the outskirts of Houston, this quiet and peaceful park is a nice escape from busy city life. Come out for the day and enjoy 6 miles of hiking and biking trails, a picnic area, geocaching, or spend the night, with a wide variety of campsites, including pull-through 30 amp full hook-up RV sites, screen shelters, and tent campsites. Camping can be reserved directly with the online park reservation system.
More info will be updated on the RunSignup event website as we get closer to the date.
