Houston Rescue & Restore Coalition (HRRC) presents the Big Dipper Dash 5k Awareness Run/Walk 2012, Saturday, September 8 at Tom Bass Park, Section III- Pavilion 4.

Proceeds from this event will go directly to the outreach and educational activities of HRRC.

Course: The run/walk will begin and end at Pavilion 4. The event opens at 5pm with packet pick-up and day of registration located near Pavilion 4. The race will start promptly at 6pm. The first portion of the race circles counter-clockwise around the fishing lake. The route then follows along a straight jogging trail until the turnaround point, and returns to follow along the remaining portion of the lake perimeter, ending at the Pavilion.

Post-Race Activities – Available for all! Lots of fun, food and music! Join us for a pick-up game of volleyball (we will provide the fair-trade balls) along with the presentation of awards and door prize drawings. Refreshments will be distributed from our generous event sponsors such as pizza from California Pizza Kitchen, iced coffee from Katz Coffee, a healthy meal from My Fit Foods and much more.

Location & Parking:

Tom Bass Park is located at 15108 Cullen Rd. The best way to get to Pavilion 4 and the start point of the race is to take 288, exit at the Sam Houston Pkwy (i.e. Texas Beltway 8), drive east on the Sam Houston Pkwy, make a right on Cullen Blvd, and the park entrance is the first right past Fellows Rd.

There is ample parking throughout Tom Bass Park. However, there is limited parking at Pavilion 4, where the start/finish line is located. As such, this VIP parking lot will be permit only entry.
