4 The Park Run

One of my favorite runs in town! It’s a different distance than you’re used to. Most of the runs in town are 5Ks, ~3.1 miles, and then you have your 10Ks which are ~6.2 miles, but somtimes you want something in between. Well now you have the 4 the park run which is 4 miles. The course is very well designed and the after part is even better! There was so much food and drinks! One of my favorite runs and all for a great cause.

BEST FUN RUN IN HOUSTON!
I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST on this 4 mile adventure. My high speed running made scenery a blur but worth noting were the mature oak trees that landscape Memorial Park. I also caught in the corner of my eye a baby getting a photo shoot in a field of bluebonnets.
Volunteers for this run did an excellent job! I was worried about parking but it was not an issue at all. A sign and then a friendly man guided me to an available spot.
And the finish line is where the party really began! LIVE MUSIC and so much delicious food and adult beverages. Tequila samples, mimosas, bloody mary’s, and beer. OH MY! In addition, sponsors provided muscle milk, breakfast crepes, el rey tacos, and fruit infused waters. And this one booth went all out and gave away impressive Unilocal swag.
Special thanks go to David N and Unilocal for bringing this event to my attention and sponsoring my entry. This run was a ton of fun!

Logging another 4 beautiful miles on foot, such a great feeling.
This event was stellar, not only the surroundings, but overall it was beyond well organized, in fact from comments I overheard it’s like that every year, and that’s enough to say every year I hope to be a participant.
Parking was not an issue; I mean who doesn’t want parking right near the finish line. At first we thought man should have parked at the starting line, but as hindsight goes, we had prime parking in the end.
The after party was, well let’s put it this way, I’ve never been so pampered after a race. The vendors were friendly and very generous in all aspects. Frozen Strawberry Margaritas, Bloody Mary’s, Mimosas, Beer, Muscle Milk, Squeezed — fruit infused water/​juices, Breakfast burritos, pasta, crepes, cliff bars, sausage/​chili, massages, stretching, shoes, and swag up the wazoo.
Cannot thank the vendors enough & Unilocal for giving me such a great opportunity to enjoy/​explore the community I now call home!

4 mile run on a beautiful Houston morning for charity! Sign me up! Great route at Memorial Park and an extremely well organized event!
I’ve been to a few runs and lets be honest, we do it for the swag after the race. This after-​race party had amazing vendors that showcases many Houston restaurants and food establishments. The beer, mimosas, and frozen margaritas were definitely a great way to celebrate at the finish line!
One more thing about this race. It’s sponsored by Luke’s Locker and they provide to race-​trackers on your bib, even for this short 4-​mile distance! Most races require a 10K distance!
I’ll be back next year! Great cause! Thanks David & Unilocal for the free registration!
