Run The Woodlands 5K to break with tradition!
Yes, it will happen in October! For the first time in its seven years of existence, the Run The Woodlands 5K (RTW) will not happen on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month.
After consulting with four of the event's most frequent runners as well as the staff at Luke's Locker in The Woodlands, the bi-monthly race in October will occur on the first and fourth Saturdays of the month -- the 7th and the 28th.
The reason for the change is the addition of the Ten for Texas 10-Miler in The Woodlands, which will be held on Saturday, October 14th.
Since all of Luke's Locker staff will be needed to put on the event that day and many of the regular runners who volunteer for RTW will be running "10 For Texas", a staffing shortage existed. Several alternatives were explored, but the best solution was to move the date of Run The Woodlands 5K up one week.
Ten For Texas was originally targeted for Saturday, October 7th but it would have conflicted with one of the top high school cross country meets in Texas, the 2006 Nike South Cross Country Invitational. It is an event that is put on with Luke's Locker's assistance.
Online registration for the Ten for Texas 10-Miler is slated to begin on Tuesday, August 1st.
