JAVELINA RUNNING
WHY JAVELINA?
I love running, I always have. I started running with my father when I was seven years old in Mexico City. As you can imagine, life gets busy and as a young adult I was an on-and-off runner for years. I never took my training too seriously until I joined my local running club (Cypress Running Club). I have found my best running (and personal) friends in the club, and it was here where I got introduced to trail running. The minute I attended my first race crewing some of you and volunteering, I was hooked! The camaraderie, the scenery, the challenging courses, and the relaxed atmosphere made me feel right at home.
"My training is for the road, but my heart belongs to the trail."
After exposure to more races and the trail running scene in Texas, I decided to start Javelina Running to promote events for runners of all experience levels near the Houston Greater Area. Our vision is to organize races with something for everyone, from kids, to 5k novice runners, to ultra marathoners going for 50km or more. We are creating events where runners will have an excellent experience and are treated with the respect and encouragement we all deserve.
Most of our races will take place on trails, with the local vendors you have come to know and love over the years for timing, emcees, and photography. Our first event will be Charge The Hill! - a race at the Hockley Hill (not trail) on October 8, 2022. This should be a very fun event, as it will help runners prepare for races with elevation (whether road or trail), and it has fun formats - including relay teams and an award for King of the Hill and Queen of the Hill for the hottest lap of any event for male and female.
So my call to action is this: Join us! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Come run our races, come volunteer, come cheer, come crew your friends, and bring the family! These events are for everyone, at all experience levels.
Sign up for one of our races today and tell all your friends!
