HOUSTON — The Steps for Students 5K Run/Walk sprinted into success as runners raced from the starting line in downtown Houston Feb. 11 and others, including parents with little ones, took a brisk stroll in chilly temperatures.
Adding to the party atmosphere among the crowd of more than 8,000, colorful confetti blasted up and swirled around. Continuing the Lunar New Year celebration, three sparkling red, white and black lion dancers joined costumed school mascots. Toro the Bull from the Houston Texans, Howdy from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and Hugo the Armadillo from sponsoring company Reliant brought their own brand of fun antics.
