Help Break 100 at Run The Woodlands 5K on Saturday
While there are two other fine events going on in the greater Houston area on Saturday (the Texas Med 5K and Angleton's Spectacle Spectacular 5K/10K), there's one very good chance to be part of a record-setting event!
That is, if attendance for Run The Woodlands 5K goes over 100 for the first time ever. The previous record of 90 was set back on August 11, 2001! (Read about it here!)
Bill Dwyer and Tracy MacEwan of Team In Training TEAM Woodlands will be hosting - as part of Run The Woodlands 5K #146 - a friendly TEAM competition and reunion run for all six (6) Team In Training areas in attendance -- Clearlake, Sugarland, West Houston, Kingwood, Memorial Park and The Woodlands.
"Scoring will be the best three times from each group added together," Bill stated. "You do not have to declare your team ahead of time. We will take the first three from each group for awards."
Categories and awards for the TNT Team competition will be as follows:
+ Fall/Winter Participants - top three teams (if you ran Nike, Marine Corps, Hawaii, Arizona or Houston this is your category)
+ Alumni - top three teams ( if you have done a TNT event...ever, this is your category )
+ Woodlands Rebels - One award - three to score - ( guest runners who have not done a TNT event who have helped our program ).
The TNT Individual competition will be as such:
+ Mentors - you worked hard all year, now show us how fast you are - awards to top three
+ Coaches - awards to top three
+ Walkers - awards to top three
Bill states that while the Run The Woodlands 5K entry fee is just a dollar that he has some two for one coupons for Skeeter's Breakfast buffet (which will keep breakfast afterwards at about $5, for those interested.) Luke's Locker, which directs the event, will have their entire staff on hand, including The Woodlands store manager Susie Schreiber (who qualified for Boston again at the Chevron Houston Marathon last Sunday). HARRA president Tom Stilwell has also been invited to attend.
I learned at the Marathon Expo that is it possible that one of Houston's five fastest men - one who has never participated in a Run The Woodlands 5K - may be in attendance on Saturday.
