Kolache Factory 5K 10K 1K - Houston, Texas - Running

The Kolache Factory 5K 10K 1K is a Running race in Houston, Texas consisting of a 5K and Kids Run/Fun Run.

In a food obsessed city like Houston, an event which pays tribute to one of the state's defining pastries, the Kolache, seems only natural. If you haven't had a Kolache before, you've come to the right place. Welcome to the Annual 'Kolache Factory 5K/10K/1K'!
Kolache Factory, our title sponsor, was founded in 1982 in Houston, Texas by co-founders John and Jerri Banks, who identified a need for a fresh, high quality breakfast that could be eaten "on the run." We're excited to officially put "on the run" to the test!
Participants in the 5K/10K event may register via three options: Challenge, Casual, Virtual Run.
The 'Run/Walk' registration is for runners who wish to take a more leisurely, traditional run/walk approach to the event and save the kolaches until after the run/walk. An award will be given to the fastest overall casual male and female, $100 Kolache Factory gift card.
The 'Challenge' (10K Registration Option Only) - Eat three (3) sausage and cheese kolaches from Kolache Factory at the 3.1 mile mark and complete the rest of the race in 120 minutes or less (20 min/mi. pace). This is for ANY participant who wishes to accomplish this feat. An award will be given to the fastest challenge male and female, $100 Kolache Factory gift card. If you register as a Challenger but are not able to complete the Challenge there are no penalties, you're just ineligible for awards.
