Join us for a heartwarming celebration at Houston’s 12K of Christmas, a beloved holiday tradition that shines as the jolliest run of the year! 🎉 This exciting event is the 9th race in the Houston Holiday Series and has brought festive joy to runners for over a decade in the spirited downtown of Houston.
