ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run

Setting a new race record, 10,000 participants took part in the 22nd annual ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run. This year’s race saw an increase of 18 percent over last year’s event and raised $245,000 for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ Educational Fund. Since the race began in 1988, the company has donated more than $2.2 million toward college scholarships for Texas youth.

Ryan Sheehan, 25, of Rochester Hills, Mich., took top honors in the men's 10K race overall finishing with a time of 30:10. This was Sheehan’s first ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run victory.

Elva Dryer, 37, of Gunnison, Colo., finished first in the women's 10K race with a winning time of 35:09. Dryer ran both the 5K and 10K events at the 2004 Olympics in Athens and was the top American finisher in the 2007 New York City Marathon.
