ConocoPhillips 10K/5K Rodeo Run
The race is held on the same day as the Rodeo Parade which marks the start of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The runners start right before the floats and follow the parade route for about a mile through downtown Houston. After missing a couple of years Rob came over again from the UK and brought Neil. Official times were:Rob: 54 min 58 sec (10K)
Neil: 54 min 59 sec (10K)
Richard: 30 min 27 sec (5K) - first in age group!
Official results are available on the ConocoPhillips website including the Finish Line video.
