The Houston Texans announced recently that they will hold their first annual Running of the Bulls 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk on Saturday, April 20, at 8:30 a.m.

The race, presented by Methodist Health Care System, will end at Reliant Astrodome, leading into the Texans Draft Day Party at the same location. The Draft Day Party will include interactive games, live bands, prize giveaways and appearances by TORO and the Houston Texans Cheerleaders.

"Our first annual Running of the Bulls will be a terrific introduction to our inaugural draft day festivities and will become an important Texans tradition for many years to come," senior vice president Jamey Rootes says. "This is an historic day for our franchise and we want to celebrate it with our fans."

Proceeds from the Running of the Bulls event will benefit a charity to be determined. Participants can click here to register. Pre-race registration is $18 and on-site registration will be $22. Registration for participants under 18 is $16.

"We are delighted to team up with the Texans for an event the whole family can enjoy," says Erin Skelley, marketing director for Methodist Health Care System. "This year's event should be even more memorable with the Texans holding the first overall draft selection."
