RA Sports Management is proud to announce the Tellepsen Family Downtown YMCA is the beneficiary of the 2016 Houston's 12K of Christmas, a 7.45-mile Christmas themed fun run.

The family friendly road race is scheduled for December 17, 2016 and will start and finish at Fish Plaza at 500 Texas Avenue (located in front of the Wortham Theater in downtown Houston).

12K of Christmas includes a timed 12K & 6K with a KidsK run/walk. All participants receive a finisher medal and t-shirt on race day. The festivities include hot cocoa and coffee provided by Katz Coffee, music, a costume contest, a visit from Santa and more.

"We are excited to partner with the Tellepsen Family Downtown YMCA for the fourth annual Houston's 12K of Christmas," says President of RA Sports Management, Graham Schooley. "YMCA programs help improve and enrich the lives of so many in our community. Partnering with the 'Y' continues our dedication to benefit local Houston area children during the Christmas holiday."

A portion of proceeds from the 2016 Houston's 12K of Christmas will benefit the Tellepsen Family Downtown YMCA Annual Fund which helps ensure that the YMCA continues to strengthen the community through outreach programs focused on preventing chronic disease, eliminating drownings and improving the academic performance of our youth.
