Description: The Earth Day Houston 5K began 5 years ago to raise awareness on air pollution issues in the Houston area. The 2010 event will once again begin and end at Discovery Green in downtown Houston. The race will be a chip-timed run on a flat, fast loop course certified by USATF. There will also be a 5K Walk and a Kids Run.

All 5K participants will receive a 100% organic cotton Earth Day Houston 5K T-shirt. Water will be served in biodegradeable drinking cups that Urban Harvest will compost, and recycling and composting stations will be available throughout Discovery Green. Runners may bring old running shoes to the race for recycling. And once again this year’s pace car for the 5K race will be a hybrid vehicle. There will also be a very limited number of race brochures being printed on recycled paper.
