Yuri’s Fun Run Houston – 5k or 10k
Run through the scenic neighborhood of Nassau Bay, TX. Look for signs where Astronauts have lived. Walkers, strollers, and pets (on leash) are welcome!
The Yuri’s Fun Run Houston is part of an annual worldwide celebration that commemorates the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, as well as the first orbital flight of the US Space Shuttle. Both these pioneering events took place on April 12th – in 1961 and 1981, respectively. As such, our race is always run on, or close to, the 12th of April, and is often held in conjunction with a Family Space Day celebration with interactive booths, displays, and simple water rocket demonstrations. Yuri’s Night celebrations around the world fuel public interest in space exploration, technology, and the aerospace industry.
