Welcome to Run with the Saints

Thank you to everyone who participated in the recent Run with the Saints. St. John Paul II Catholic School held its 20^th annual Kids K and 5K Run with the Saints race in West Houston on Saturday, October 27. It was a gorgeous, crisp fall morning with 243 runners!

The diverse group of runners included current students and alumni, moms and dads, retired senior citizens, athletes and non-athletes, community members, and StJPII faculty and staff. Children 10 and under participated in a Kids K to kick off the day, followed by the 5K. Several vendors came and set up booths to visit before and after the race. Following the race, an award ceremony, complete with complimentary donuts, was held for the winner.

Thank you again to all sponsors and runners who participated in this year’s race. A special thank you the Run with the Saints committee members and StJPII Faculty and Staff for all of their time and help in planning and promoting this event.

Race Results Final

Our Reason Why:
In 1999, one of our StJPII family members, Lauren Lockard, who was a vibrant and talented sixth-grade student with a passion for athletics, was taken by this disease. Lauren’s family, friends and faculty have vowed to fight this disease while keeping her memory alive through a spirited community event.

How Our Community Benefits:
This 5K event allows our community an opportunity to demonstrate extraordinary strength and camaraderie. Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the 5K by running, walking and volunteering on Saturday, October 27.  We extend this invitation for you to invite your friends.

Run with the Saints is one of the few races located in West Harris County! The 5K course winds through the beautiful tree-lined neighborhood streets around St. John Paul II Catholic School, near Briar Forest Road and Highway 6. Parking is available on streets around the school.
