CITY OF HOUSTON

John Whitmire Mayor P.O. Box 1562 Houston, Texas 77251-1562 Telephone – Dial 311 www.houstontx.gov

January 19, 2025 Greetings, As Mayor of Houston, it is my pleasure to welcome the participants and supporters of the 2025 Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Houston Half Marathon and We Are Houston 5K presented by Aramco and Chevron.

The 3-day weekend of events showcases Houston’s cityscapes, culture and comradery. It also brings together more than 300,000 spectators, runners and volunteers to produce Houston’s largest single-day sporting event on race-day Sunday. Once again, this year the race will feature 35,000 participants including a renowned field of some of the world’s most talented professional runners set for record breaking performances.

As Houstonians, we believe that civic celebration is vital to the spirit of Houston and it is that belief, over the past 53 years, that has made the Houston Marathon a cherished tradition for us all. Annually, thousands of Houstonians volunteer their time, businesses offer their support and organizers work diligently to create an event that serves as a symbol of achievement for elite athletes and every day runners alike.

I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to each of these generous sponsors and volunteers who unite annually to create this time-honored event and invite each of you as participants to do the same as you navigate your way through the bustle of the weekend.

The race is full of motivation and inspiration as the local community continues to display an overwhelming feeling of comradery in its rebuilding efforts. I encourage you to take in the enthusiasm the city has for each of you as runners, contribute to the positive energy of the events and truly be a part of the Houston spirit!

WELCOME TO HOUSTON Welcome to Houston for the 53rd edition of the Chevron Houston Marathon Weekend of Events!

The Houston Marathon Committee (HMC) is grateful to every runner who chose to Run Hou this year. We take great pride in organizing worldclass races on our flat, fast, and spectator-friendly courses. The HMC is thrilled to celebrate your accomplishments and to welcome you across our redesigned finish line this year.

One of our biggest points of pride is our commitment to positively impacting the Greater Houston Region. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Chevron Houston Marathon Run for a Reason charity program has raised over $39 million for local causes by partnering with 60+ local charities annually since 1995. In 2007, we also launched the Houston WADE MOREHEAD Marathon Foundation (HMF), which supports youth running programs Executive Director, Houston Marathon Committee, Inc. focused on increasing accessibility to the sport. The HMF’s We Run Houston after-school running program has helped 5,003 at-risk students train and participate on race weekends over the past decade, and the HMF has also awarded $290,000 in college scholarships to local high school cross country runners over the past eight years.

Thank you to the HMC and HMF Board of Directors for their time and support of our legacy initiatives. We would also like to sincerely thank Chevron, Aramco, and Brooks for their commitment and support of the RFAR program and the Houston Marathon Foundation.

We are proud to have the honor of producing this hallmark event each year, in a way no one else does in this industry, thanks in large part to H-E-B who provides a hot breakfast buffet to all finishers inside Houston’s George R. Brown Convention center immediately after obtaining your finisher medal. On behalf of the Houston Marathon Committee, thank you for choosing Houston and best wishes for a memorable race weekend.

On behalf of the citizens of Houston, good luck and best wishes for a successful and memorable race.

Sincerely,

John Whitmire Mayor

BACK OF THE PACK RUNNER: TIA RO’S TAKE ON THE JOY OF MOVING FORWARD When Rosa Perez, also known as “Tia Ro,” laces up her running shoes, it’s not about breaking records or chasing qualifying times — it’s about joy, connection, and the love she has for her running community. A 38-year-old marathoner, wife, dog mom, and stepmom, Rosa’s running journey is one of unwavering commitments to building a more resilient life and community through racing.

Rosa’s running story began not with a grand goal or a competitive mindset, but with a simple moment of inspiration.

In 2013, she watched her sister and brother-in-law run their first Aramco Houston Half Marathon. The weather that January morning was cold, rainy, and unforgiving, yet the runners seemed to be having the time of their lives. Rosa recalls feeling immense pride and awe as she watched them cross the finish line. It was that moment, she says, that sparked her own running journey.

“After that race, I joined my sister and brother-in-law at a run club in Katy a few times, and I signed up for a few 5Ks,” she says. “It was in 2014 when I decided to chase the 13.1 miles for myself, running my first half marathon.”

That first half marathon was the start of something much bigger. Rosa has completed 23 half marathons and three marathons to date. What keeps her coming back to the run is the happiness she feels training and racing, regardless of where she finishes. “The Houston running community keeps me moving forward.”

The miles logged, and races completed are less of what drives her than the connections made along the way. It’s about strangers who become lifelong friends, shared experiences, and the bonds forged through the act of running together.

This season, however, has been more challenging than any other. Rosa was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that affects her joints, making training more difficult and unpredictable.

The disease has forced her to reassess her approach to running, learning how to balance pushing herself with the need for rest and recovery.

“It’s been tough, no question,” she admits.

“Learning when to push and when to rest has been a real challenge. And being patient with myself as I figured out how this disease will change my running has been difficult, but it’s also been eyeopening. It’s a whole new chapter in my journey, but I’m committed to continuing to show up and I know I can thanks to my husband, my friends, my fellow RunHou ambassadors and the entire running community.”

“Being an ambassador for the Houston Marathon has been the highlight of my running career,” she says with a smile. “It’s been incredible to meet so many people, to run alongside them, and to share our stories. We’ve all sweated, bled, and even cried together, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to represent this amazing city and event.”

Rosa’s story is a reminder that racing is not just about the epic finish line and finisher medal — it’s about the community, and the joy of moving forward, no matter the pace.

ADAPTING IS

EVERYTHING — RAY STELLY’S RACE STORY

While reaching the finish line is always the goal, Stelly has learned to value the journey itself. “The process, the training, the community — those are the things that matter most to me. The destination is important, but it’s the experience along the way that has made this journey so fulfilling,” he said.

The wheelchair, Stelly shared, has not only been a tool for his athletic success but has become an integral part of his identity. “It empowers me to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilling life. It’s part of who I am,” he said.

One of the highlights of Ray’s racing experience is the vibrant community he finds at the Houston Marathon’s Athletes with Disabilities (AWD) field. “The sense of camaraderie is incredible,” Stelly said. “You’re surrounded by other adaptive athletes who share your passion and determination. It’s like a family, and the volunteers create such a positive, welcoming atmosphere—it’s what makes the experience so special year after year.”

For Ray Stelly, wheelchair racing has been more than just a sport—it’s been an anchor to his health and wellness. Competing in adaptive athletics has shaped both his physical and mental strength, and he knows it’s thanks to more than his strength. It’s thanks to his parents, his racing community and the supportive community that surrounds him in this life-changing sport.

Ray’s journey would not have been possible without the support of his family and mentors. “My mother and father, Ray and Mary Stelly, have been my rock, instilling a sense of possibility in me from a young age,” he shared.

“I also owe so much to my lifelong mentor, Carrie Melancon, and my racing guide, Cassandra Stanley.

As Ray prepares for the Houston race in January, he is embracing a new approach to training and racing. After years of competing in a pushrim wheelchair, he shifted his strength training to focus on running and walking his first long-distance race—leaving his racing chair behind.

While he feels ready, the marathon distance at the Chevron Houston Marathon felt too far, so he is listening to his body. “I faced some challenges during training, but I decided to follow my medical team’s advice and adjust my strategy for the 2025 race,” Stelly said. “My goal is to reach the January finish line as a foot racer at the half marathon distance. I’ve registered as a ‘mobility impaired runner’ for the Aramco Houston Half Marathon and plan to race the 2026 Chevron Houston Marathon back in my racing wheelchair.”

“The process, the training, the community — those are the things that matter most to me. The destination is important, but it’s the experience along the way that has made this journey so fulfilling.”

Ray’s story isn’t just about racing — it’s about adapting and finding strength in the face of challenges. “My experiences with cerebral palsy have taught me the importance of adapting to change,” Stelly explained.

“As my condition has progressed, I’ve had to modify my training and racing strategies to accommodate my evolving needs. Challenges are opportunities for growth, and by embracing them, I’ve developed

Their guidance and support help me stay focused, not just during race week but throughout my entire training year.”

Last but not least, Michael Depew, Race Director of Ray’s first half marathon who organized a fundraiser to get Ray his first and only racing chair that he still races in today.

As Ray prepares to take on this race, he is eager to reconnect with the community and continue his journey with cerebral palsy. “No matter how I race in January, I’m just excited to be back at that start line surrounded by people who understand the value of pushing past limitations.”

Philip also uses his platform to amplify Southern Smoke, a non-profit headed by Houston legend Chris Shepherd, founder of Underbelly and more.

Chef Shepherd, and the members of that non-profit team have raised over $21M for Food and Beverage worker relief. Beneficiaries benefit in the form of mental, physical and financial support when disaster strikes. Chef Speer also serves on the board of Ben’s Friends a non-profit supporting a coalition of sober Food and Beverage professionals.

This Houston launch pad snowballed into Chef Philip’s journey away from his Houston family to develop his own concept, non-profit and identity as a multifaceted entrepreneur in ATX only to come home to HTX for his “first fast marathon” in his hometown this coming January. The Chevron Houston Marathon race can’t wait to host him alongside his close friend Chef Aaron of Bludorn for a delicious finish.

RUN, CHEF!

We look forward to watching Chef Phillip experience the “magic we have come to expect from Houston” as elite athletes who run these races put it. These fast, flat, friendly city streets are ready to see Chef Phillip to his marathon PR right alongside so many of you.

10 STRENGTH TRAINING EXERCISES FOR RUNNERS TO AVOID INJURY Strengthen your core, glute, calf and hamstring muscles with these 10 training exercises for runners to avoid injury and increase their endurance.

Running is one of those sports people either love or hate — and those who love it, can’t seem to get enough of it. Unless, of course, even with proper shoes and form, they overuse muscles that tend to tire after miles and miles of pounding pavement.

When that happens, pain can set in, worsen over time and even travel from the foot to higher up the leg as other muscles are strained.

The solution is strength training and stretches, says Dr. Scott Rand, a primary care sports medicine physician at Houston Methodist who’s supported runners’ health in Houston for more than 20 years.

20+ convenient locations across Greater Houston

“If you’re a runner and all you do is run, you tend to overuse muscles that you don’t really strengthen as well as you should,” says Dr. Rand. “As that happens, people get very predictable patterns of injury that typically start at the ankle and work their way up around the knees and into the hips.”

“By strengthening the muscles you use when running, you can decrease the likelihood of overuse injuries and have more long-term success,” he adds.

Even better, you don’t need a gym membership or fancy equipment to condition the appropriate muscles. Most exercises can be performed at home using your body weight and common items around the house. The others just require resistance bands and dumbbells.

Whether it’s your first 5K or you have a marathon or more under your belt, Dr. Rand’s guidance should benefit all runners

for better endurance, fewer injuries and greater long-term success.

WHAT INJURIES ARE RUNNERS MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP? As Dr. Rand emphasizes, runners — especially newcomers — will often develop very predictable patterns of injury: they start at the ankle and work their way up to the hip. However, experienced distance runners are susceptible too, suffering some injuries that, though typically milder, can last longer — for weeks, months or chronically.

Starting at the ankle, says Dr. Rand, runners will often get posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, or PTTD, a condition that causes pain just behind the inside ankle bone. The muscle connected to this tendon (the tibialis posterior) is key for maintaining stability, especially during running. Every time your foot strikes the ground, this muscle has to “fire” or activate to keep your foot stabilized, says Dr. Rand.

As you can imagine, since every time you step this muscle has to activate, overuse is all too common, especially as your mileage increases.

Around the knee, Dr. Rand says two of the most common running injuries are IT band syndrome and patellar tendonitis. Both mostly occur due to overuse.

The IT band runs down the outside of the thigh from the hip to the shinbone to help keep the knee stabilized. Every time your foot strikes the ground — even when just walking — the IT band is constantly being used. As runners strain this tissue, pain can

develop on the outside of the knee, Dr. Rand says, but is easily treatable with stretches and anti-inflammatory medication, among other methods.

Patellar tendonitis, or jumper’s knee, occurs when the tendon just below your kneecap becomes inflamed from overuse, causing pain in that area. Like the IT band, the patellar tendon helps with joint stability but also aids in decelerating. It’s a very common injury in sports like volleyball and basketball, but it can also occur in runners (mostly men).

Further up, hamstring injuries can begin to develop. Hamstrings are the muscles that run along the backside of your thigh and help with balance, posture and stability. Dr. Rand says runners tend to neglect these muscles, which are vital to endurance but tend not to strengthen just from running like some other muscles do.

“If you don’t specifically exercise your hamstring muscles, they won’t get strong, will become more fatigued toward the end of a run, and will be more susceptible to injury,” he says.

Finally, at the hip, there’s the piriformis, a small but important muscle that crosses over the sciatic nerve and keeps the hip rotated outward. Like the others, says Dr. Rand, it’s very commonly overused and can become “very tight” if not stretched and strengthened.

As it crosses over the sciatic nerve, this strained muscle can sometimes cause pain that radiates down the leg.

WHEN IS A RUNNING INJURY SERIOUS? “The pains that runners should worry about

are what feel like bony pains at foot strike,” says Dr. Rand. “If runners have pain that’s in front of the shinbone, in their groin, in the forefoot area right behind their toes or midfoot, then we worry about stress fractures.”

Unfortunately, stress fractures are very common in runners, Dr. Rand notes. He adds that they’re also among the only injury types that warrant stopping running.

“If you keep running, you will break that bone,” Dr. Rand says.

“For most other pains, runners will push through, and we can do things to help them with that, but for those specific bony pains at foot strike, you need to see a doctor.”

WHAT MUSCLES SHOULD RUNNERS STRENGTHEN TO AVOID INJURY? Runners all have very strong quadricep muscles, or “quads,” in the front of the thigh, but Dr. Rand says they tend to neglect the muscles that are more easily overused. Those are the more central, core muscles around the pelvis in addition to the ones mentioned above, which include the hamstrings, piriformis and calves.

“What we find is that runners strongest in their core, including the muscles around the pelvis, lower abdominal muscles, gluteus medius and hip flexors, tend to get injured less and run faster,” says Dr. Rand. “They run with their glutes and hip flexors more than the rest of their leg muscles.”

The stronger you are in those, he says, the more you will naturally become a runner who runs from their core.

So how can you strengthen those core muscles and support others more prone to injury?

Dr. Rand suggests 10 exercises — both strengthening and stretching — that runners can begin to incorporate into their exercise regimen.

10 WORKOUTS FOR RUNNERS TO BUILD STRENGTH AND AVOID INJURY

5. PIRIFORMIS STRETCH 1. Lay on your back with both knees bent.

4. Straighten your left leg and pull back your right arm.

5. Bring both back to the original position and repeat on the opposite side.

Muscles worked: Core, back

HOW OFTEN SHOULD RUNNERS BE STRENGTH TRAINING? According to Dr. Rand, two days of strength training and stretching per week is “plenty” to target those muscles that runners often neglect and overuse. Three sets of 10 to 15 repetitions for each muscle group is standard, but feel free to adjust to your specific workout needs.

If you’re a runner, don’t stop; keep going “Running is the sport that other sports do for punishment,” says Dr. Rand. “But it can be a source of pride for many and a big therapeutic release.”

While many people ultimately wish to run a marathon — a widely acknowledged mark of human excellence — any running goal can be a great source of pride and self-achievement.

Every runner starts with their first mile or kilometer.

Plus, in addition to our cardiovascular health, running can greatly benefit our mental health, whether it’s chasing that euphoric state following intense exercise known colloquially as “runner’s high,” joining a running club to develop relationships and build community or simply spending time inside your head away from the hustle and bustle of life.

“The phrase I always tell my runners is that nobody finishes a marathon pain-free,” he adds.

“Don’t expect to run pain-free, but know the pain usually isn’t dangerous and is solvable with a little bit of help.”

MICHAEL GNOINSKI

TECHNOLOGY LEADER AND LONGTIME HOUSTON MARATHON COMMITTEE MEMBER Michael Gnoinski has been a key figure in the technological evolution of the Houston Marathon, contributing to the event’s growth and innovation since joining the committee in 2000. His journey began in the summer of 2000 during the lead-up to the 2001 event season, when the Houston Marathon was transitioning into the digital age. As a member of the technology world, Michael played a pivotal role when Hewlett-Packard became the title sponsor, and the race became one of the first to transmit timing chip data to a central computer in real-time. This groundbreaking move allowed for live website updates and text notifications during the race—an early glimpse into the future of race-day technology and what we now hold in our hands thanks to the Chevron Houston Marathon mobile app.

SANDRA GNOINSKI

DEDICATED VOLUNTEER AND HOUSTON MARATHON COMMITTEE SUPPORTER Sandra Gnoinski’s journey with the Houston Marathon began with her own experience as a runner and volunteer, and over the years, she has become an integral part of the event’s success. After being invited to join her sister’s marathon training program in 1999, Sandra’s running adventure was cut short due to a stress fracture. Nevertheless, she completed her first marathon at the 2001 Houston Marathon and quickly became involved in the volunteer side of the event.

Her husband, Michael Gnoinski, who is also being inducted into the Houston Marathon Committee Hall of Fame this year, played a key role in the event’s early technological advancements. In 2002, Sandra became a permanent volunteer, assisting with management of packet distribution at the EXPO and contributing to many other roles, including race registrations, EXPO setup, bib scanning, athlete services, and part-time employee to assist with increased volumes of customer service. Sandra currently manages volunteers for the packet pick-up area, runner wrangler on race day and is happy to jump in wherever she is needed throughout the year and race week.

Sandra’s passion for the marathon grew alongside her own running journey, completing 25 marathons from 2001 to 2008, including a self-imposed challenge of running a marathon every month in 2005-2006. This experience gave her valuable insight into race day operations and volunteer coordination.

Her tireless dedication, willingness to take on new challenges, and commitment to improving the experience for both runners and volunteers have made her an invaluable member of the Houston Marathon Committee (HMC). Sandra’s passion for the race, combined with her collaborative spirit, has contributed to the growth and success of this event over the past 25 years.

In his first decade with the Houston Marathon Committee, Michael took a hands-on approach to improving the event’s online registration system, initially working with “Do It Sports” and later transitioning to “haku.” He also worked on enabling the marathon’s charity partners to accept online donations, streamlining the fundraising process. Michael played an integral role in the creation of a sophisticated Elite Athlete data entry and management system, developed by Kate Chester, which became one of the industry’s best-inclass systems.

Beyond this work, Michael also contributed to the committee’s website updates over the last 25 years and is the go-to expert for all race technology within the committee’s portfolio. Working alongside esteemed technology companies like RTRT, and the rest of the race committee who oversees participant services and marketing, Michael is still helping the committee improve the end-user experience by ensuring the most up-to-date technology and strategy is available.

Throughout his tenure, Michael has witnessed and contributed to the dramatic transformation of the end-user experience, improving speed, accessibility, and engagement. One of his proudest accomplishments is being a part of the team that created and manages the Chevron Houston Marathon mobile app. This development puts race information in the hands of every participant, spectator, and volunteer—making race-day experiences more efficient and interactive than ever before.

With more than 25 years of dedication to the HMC, Michael has become an indispensable member of the team. His passion for technology and his commitment to enhancing the participant and spectator experience have made him a cornerstone of the event’s success. Michael considers it an honor to have been a part of the marathon’s evolution and is grateful to have worked alongside an incredible group of people who share his vision for the future of race technology.

A DEDICATION TO

Tom & Mary Anne McBrayer FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOUNDING OF THE HOUSTON MARATHON. their tireless efforts in organizing and supporting the Houston Marathon, their contributions were far-reaching and deeply impactful. For over 20 years, they worked behind the scenes, measuring race courses, managing volunteers, and ensuring that every participant felt supported, from their first training mile on the city streets and parks to their final race mile.

Their commitment went beyond race week; they were driven by building community through racing year-round like so many of you reading this race week dedication to them both.

This race week, we ask you all to pause, recognizing two extraordinary individuals whose legacies have forever shaped the running community here in Houston — Tom and Mary Anne McBrayer.

As members of the Houston Marathon founding committee, the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA), and the Houston Masters Sports Association, the McBrayers were pioneers who truly left their mark on thousands of local runners. They were there initially, laying the groundwork for what you all experience annually over the Houston Marathon race weekend. Back in 1972, no one imagined where we would be today thanks to all of you who have built this dream as we prepare for the 53rd Chevron Houston Marathon.

Tom’s dedication to the sport began in 1966. He shared his passion with Mary Anne, creating a partnership that would leave an indelible mark on our city. From their early work creating the Seymour Lieberman Trail in Memorial Park to

“As we celebrate the amazing contributions that Tom and Mary Anne McBrayer made to the Houston running community for literally decades, we not only remember their tireless work but also the kindness, dedication, and passion that they shared with so many,” stated Wade Morehead, Executive Director of the Houston Marathon Committee and Houston Marathon Foundation. “They were both an inspiration and as members of the HMC Hall of Fame, they will always be remembered as two of the founding pillars of Houston’s running community.

Their legacy lives on in each stride, every mile, and in the spirit of camaraderie that defines our races.”

I FEEL THE SPRING COMING

when I run

BY: ELIZABETH HSU

I feel the spring coming when I run.

In Houston, the fireflies are green, the greenest things I’ve ever seen.

In the trails, late at night, my friend cups his hands and a firefly comes to his palms, soft like overripe raspberries.

These are the universal truths of the living world.

I used to run because there were dead things chasing me.

I used to run because red lingered in the trees: because sunlight dripped orange blood onto my hair, showed me her open wounds.

I used to run because fear seeped through these strands.

But even now, something is burning.

There is a fire here.

Take in the humid air of the gulf confined within the waves of your body.

Welcome the heat in the base of your calves and your lungs.

I step on brown leaves, crush them underneath the weight of me— not because I don’t feel remorse for dead things, but because I can finally feel my feet.

In the trails, we don’t run from anything anymore.

We only run towards the sun.

Thank you, Tom and Mary Anne, for everything you gave to this city, this sport, and to all of us who have been fortunate enough to run beside you, in spirit, if not in person.

The Houston running community is forever grateful.

Thank you to Elizabeth Hsu, local poet and young opera singer who will deliver the National Anthem at the start of the We Are Houston 5K on race morning.

Thank you to the Discovery Green Park Conservancy for this dedicated paver, commemorating 30 years of giving back through the Chevron Houston Marathon Run for a Reason charity program. We are honored to partner with you for many more years, creating history through year-round programming that encourages Houstonians to enjoy wellness through community events that get us outdoors together. A special thanks to everyone who participated in this fundraiser and secured their own engraved paver right beside ours. Stay tuned to Discovery Green’s website and social media for future opportunities, and you could see your name etched in stone along the walkways by the finish line of the Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Houston Half Marathon, and We Are Houston 5K presented by Aramco and Chevron.

NAVIGATING 150 MILES

OF HOUSTON BAYOU GREENWAYS

Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner traveling in from out of state to participate in the Houston Marathon Weekend of Events or a local Houstonian looking to explore new areas we are pleased to bring you a detailed story of the connectivity provided here thanks to the 150 miles of Houston’s Bayou Greenways.

Lace up! It is time to explore 55+ miles of that 150 through these custom-built routes. These routes include Garmin Connect maps and Strava routes, along with pro tips from the Houston Parks Board about what you can expect to enjoy along the way. Here are some of the larger parks you will pass through before we dive into the different options.

BUFFALO BAYOU PARK: A FAMILY EXPERIENCE Buffalo Bayou Park, is a 160-acre green space created and stewarded by Buffalo Bayou Partnership that ranks among the top urban trails in the USA, just west of downtown Houston. The paved and gravel paths weave through breathtaking views of public art, picnic areas, and native landscaping. Remember to stop by the iconic Waugh Bridge Bat Colony, where thousands of bats take flight at dusk. It is a mesmerizing natural spectacle.

When traveling along these routes through Buffalo Bayou Park, be on the look out for public art, like Tolerance, by artist Jaume Plensa, made available thanks to a program built to respond to the bayou’s unique features.

The Buffalo Bayou Park (BBP) Cistern is something you will pass by as well. This 87,500-square-foot Cistern, a former drinking water reservoir built in 1926 for the City of Houston, was restored by BBP into a magnificent public space for tours, performances, and art installations.

MEMORIAL PARK: HOUSTON’S CENTRAL PARK Memorial Park, is located in the heart of Houston. This is Houston’s version of Central Park, boasting 30 miles of trails for all movement practices. The Memorial Park Conservancy stewards this park and is celebrating its 100th birthday this year! A favorite among locals is the 3-mile Seymour Lieberman Trail. Another must-see is the newly constructed 100-acre project, the Kinder Land Bridge and Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Prairie. This impressive nature sanctuary restores prairie and re-introduces endangered native Gulf Coast prairie species adding additional wetlands to areas north and south of Memorial Drive connected by this bridge. The Running Complex features a 400-meter Roy H. Cullen Timing Track, nestled alongside the health-focused Vibrant Café in the trees. The visitor center boasts an open-air event plaza and terrace, open to all of HOU, all year long!
