Friendswood residents can take a break from the holiday bustle and take part in the Holiday Hustle, a 5K Fun Run/Walk and Kid’s K Run sponsored by the City of Friendswood Community Service Department, Alton Todd Law Firm and International Paint and Body.

The race will take place in Stevenson Park, 1100 S. Friendswood Dr. on Saturday December 5, 2009. Registration starts at 7am and the first leg of the race – the Kid’s K – starts at 8am, with the adult runners and walkers taking off at 8:20am. After the race trophies will be awarded to the top males and females in each age category and to the best overall male and female runners. Then participants can rest their legs and enjoy a pancake breakfast, vying for their chance to win a number of door prizes.

Registration costs $20 per person for adults, and $10 per kid 12 and under. T-shirts are provided for participants, but are only guaranteed for those that register before November 27. Checks can be made to the City of Friendswood, and please note the fee is non-refundable. Participants are asked to park behind City Hall or on Shadwell as parking will not be allowed in the pool parking lot.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Laura Recovery Center Foundation (LRCF) for missing children. For more information on the LRCF please visit their website at www.lrcf.org
