About the Houston Run for CDH
The course runs through a university stadium and its surrounding concourse, which makes it unlike most road races in Houston. The finish line sits in front of a Jumbotron on a football field, so you are running into a full stadium moment at the end. Spectators can watch from the stands, which puts the crowd close and directly above the action.
The start and finish are both on the football field, so there is a natural gathering spot for families before and after. The race supports congenital diaphragmatic hernia research and care, and that cause tends to draw people who stick around and make some noise from the seats.
