Houston, TX
This is a free morning gathering in Memorial Park, held on the grass near the Tennis Center. Running clubs set up tents, there is a live DJ, and the post-run spread includes watermelon and cold drinks. Clubs take turns at an open mic to introduce themselves to the crowd. It runs more like a block party than a timed race.
