Hundreds of runners of all ages joined the Houston Bar Association on a chilly Saturday morning for the 37th Annual John J. Eikenburg Law Week Fun Run at Sam Houston Park on February 19. This year’s race in downtown Houston marked a comeback for the event after it was held virtually last year. Click here to view race results, photos, sponsors, and more.

The morning included a 1K children’s run, a 1-mile family walk, as well as the highly-anticipated 8K race. Finisher medals were awarded to all 8K and 1K participants. Awards were given in several categories, including first, second, and third place for individuals in age groups ranging from 15 to 80+, as well as teams.
The race is named in honor of the late John J. Eikenburg, who during his presidency of the HBA in 1986 wanted the HBA to host an annual charity run to become more involved in the community. Upon his passing in 1997, the board voted to rename the run in his honor.

All net proceeds from the race go to The Center for Pursuit, a nonprofit, United Way agency that provides employment, enrichment, residential, and health care services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and autism in the Houston area. The HBA has donated over $1.6 million through this annual event. Thank you to everyone who supported the event this year!
