About the Walt Cunningham Angels' Race for Space 5k/10k and Family Fun Run
The race takes place at Space Center Houston, which gives the course a setting you do not find at most local 5ks. The event raises money for a charity that provides adaptive equipment and support programs for children with special needs, and it honors the memory of an Apollo astronaut connected to the area. Several distance options mean the morning draws a wide range of runners.
Parking at Space Center Houston is free on race day. Packet pickup runs over the two evenings before the race at a pair of local running and outdoor stores, with a registration tent also available on-site race morning for last-minute sign-ups. Restrooms are in the parking lot, and a medical team is stationed near the finish.
