Events
On this page, we have general descriptions of the Events available to members, Specific information for each event is announced to club members via KARC social media sites.
In addition to multiple weekly runs KARC also offers monthly social events. Each month has at least one event while many months boast several events that allow our members to connect with each other outside of running. Here are a few examples of events we host throughout the year.
Taco Breakfasts: Several times a year KARC will provide Rudy’s Breakfast Tacos post Saturday long run. These breakfasts are often accompanied by guest speakers that range from Race Coordinators to other Charities that encourage KARC members to branch out and experience other aspects of the Houston Running Community.
Anniversary Party: KARC was officially created in February of 2016. Every year to celebrate our anniversary we host a Sunday Recovery Run where KARC provides coffee, treats and giveaways as a thank you to our members for their continued support.
TIR: KARC members organize several Texas Independence Relay teams. This is a 187 mile, two day, rolling social event.
Training Season Kickoff Party: About six months before the Houston Marathon/Half Marathon, we celebrate the beginning of the training plan.
Summer Seminars: Every year over the course of the summer KARC will invite different speakers to educate our membership on all topics running related. We’ve covered topics like heartrate training, injury prevention, nutrition/hydration for running, and many more. We provide snacks and beverages and discounts on your favorite running necessities.
Poker Run: Twice a year, with the help of Good Times Running Company Beer Run, KARC sets out dozens of playing cards along a designated route. Hit at least three card tables to build your best poker hand before returning to the start for judging. Top three hands will win running related prizes.
Scavenger Hunt: Our favorite holiday event, KARC sets out trivia clues and provides a list of decorations to find in our running community. At the finish enjoy cocoa and homemade cookies and a contest for best festive dress.
Holiday Party: Our biggest event of the year KARC invites all our members to celebrate another fabulous year of running. This is a ticketed event that includes dinner, live music, and dozens of giveaways.
Collaborations: In addition to our own events KARC also partners with other running clubs & stores to support and grow our community.
