About the El Cinco Cinco

This one leans into the holiday. Runners are encouraged to dress for Cinco de Mayo, and the post-race scene at Karbach Brewing is the main event, with a market and drinks waiting at the finish. It fits into a broader Houston holiday race series, so some in the crowd will know each other from earlier races in that lineup.
