ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run
Each year, the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run helps kick off the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with a pavement pounding 10K race and 5K fun run/walk. Entry fees are donated to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Educational Fund.
In 2012 at the 25th annual ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run, 15,001 athletes participated, including Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo President Skip Wagner and Houston Texans President Jamey Rootes. With its $400,000 donation in 2012, ConocoPhillips has contributed more than $3.3 million to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's Educational Fund since the race began in 1988.
