East End 1K

The sixth installment of the East End 1K is coming up!!  As always, LET'S NOT OVERDO IT!  This year, a portion of the proceeds will support Small Places.  Small Places is a nonprofit urban farm in Houston’s East End, growing fresh, healthy food while creating programs that strengthen our community. From farm apprenticeships to neighborhood produce distribution, they’re building a more food-secure community—one small step at a time!

The event will be on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025 at 11AM and begin and end at Equal Parts Brewing, with prizes and drawings post race. Registration is limited and will close at 5pm on Friday, October 10th or once we hit capacity.  

To raise additional funds, for Small Places, we will hold drawings after the race with a chance to win various prizes. Please check out the prize table and purchase tickets! Cash and Venmo will be accepted. 

REGISTRATIONS WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL DAY OF EVENT AT REDUCED AMOUNT BUT WILL NOT COME WITH AN EVENT SHIRT
