Houston Running: Run The Woodlands 5K in October -- Changes!!

Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

About Me

Name: WalkSports.com

Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Run The Woodlands 5K in October -- Changes!!

Yes, tradition will be shattered!

Run The Woodlands 5K #163 and #164 will be run on the first and third Saturdays instead of the traditional second and fourth Saturdays!

On October 7th, RTW is being shifted because 1.) all of Luke's Locker's staff will be working the revived Ten For Texas 10-Miler on Saturday, October 14th and 2.) many RTW regulars will be running in it as well.

We learned at RTW #160 on August 26th that Barbara Bush Elementary's administration did not want us holding the race on Saturday, October 28th because of a school carnival that would be held that morning at 10:30 a.m. Since we want to be able to continue to run the event for years to come, the second RTW that month will be run on Saturday, October 21st.

If you have any further questions, please let me or Luke's Locker - The Woodlands store manager Susie Schreiber know.
