In observance of September’s National Prostate
Cancer Awareness Month, hundreds gathered
to shine a light on prostate cancer at the annual
Blue Cure Night Run & Zumba Party in downtown
Houston, and LOCAL Houston Magazine was part
of the fun! For the third year, the Blue Cure Night
Run took place in front of a blue illuminated City
Hall at Sam Houston Park. KHOU’s Lily Jang served
as emcee and former Houston Texans player and
Blue Cure board member Chris Myers joined Lily
for the countdown. Albina and Roger Rippy with
YogaOne Houston led the pre-race yoga, and participants walked and ran the 5k course from Sam
Houston Park down Allen Parkway in front of KHOU
studios, and back to the park where a high-energy Zumba was kicked off and led by Rebeca
Bangstein and friends. Lasers and lights lit up the
park while participants also enjoyed fresh fruits and
healthy plant-based treats and beverages presented
by Whole Foods Market and MALK Organics, La
Griglia, b pop!, Rhythm Superfoods, Drink Maple,
KIND, Lovebean Fudge, Kickin' Kombucha, Black
Hole Cold Brew and Green Plate Foods.
