Course and race notes
Steps for Students is an annual event benefiting the 56 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
Over the last 21 years, this exciting day of family fun has brought together our Catholic community for a Sunrise Mass, a sanctioned 5K race, and a post-race party in the Catholic School Village.
In the organizer's words, from the race's own listing.
