Conroe Courier Column Excerpt from Sunday, August 19
BRING SHOES – If you have used running shoes that still have some life left in them, The Woodlands Running Club would like for you to clean them off a little and bring them to Fuddrucker’s, located at 2290 Buckthorn in The Woodlands, on Friday evening, August 24, between 6 and 8 p.m.
Meet some new friends and fellow runners in the community at Happy Hour or enjoy a reasonably-priced meal while your generosity will help someone in need have warmer feet this winter.
BRING WATER – The fledgling Oak Ridge Track Club, directed by Oak Ridge High School cross country and track coach Dennis Muehlstein and Jacob Mazone, will culminate its summer season of events with the Oak Ridge 5-Miler on Saturday morning, August 25 at 7:30 a.m. at the Oak Ridge High School track.
No, not 20 laps on the track. Just eight.
The race will begin with approximately one mile on the track before entering the fields behind the high school. Runners will complete two 1.5-mile loops, each on the grass, before finishing the fifth mile back on the track.
Day of race registration will be $8.50 for members and $11.50 for non-members.
Pre-registration instructions can be found at http://www.oakridgetc.itgo.com/.
BRING MUSCLE – Well, even if you need a few, like me, still join the The LoneStar Multisport Club on Sunday, August 26, as it will be holding its monthly meeting on from 4 to 6 p.m. at the South Montgomery County YMCA – Branch Crossing location, located at 8100 Ashlane Way in The Woodlands.
Three-time Badwater Ultramarathon finisher and National Strength Coaches Association-certified Dr. Christopher Rampacek, aka Mr. Muscle, will be speaking on “Strength Training for the Endurance Athlete.”
CLOCK IS TICKING – The entry fee for the Saturday, October 13 Ten For Texas 10-mile race, which is to start and finish on Market Street in The Woodlands, will increase on Saturday, September 1.
Online registration, which is currently $35 and will increase to $40 in less than two weeks, can be done by clicking on http://www.thewoodlandsassociations.org/.
Save the online processing fee by registering in person at The Woodlands Recreation Center or at Luke’s Locker on Market Street.
PLAN AHEAD – Support The Woodlands High School Triathlon Team, featured in the August 2007 edition of Runner Triathlete News, by participating in the second annual The Woodlands Adventure Race on Labor Day, Monday, September 3, at Northshore Park in The Woodlands.
Two-person teams will work as a team to bike, run, swim, navigate and find clues to the mystery question and participants should be able to bike 15-20 miles, swim 50 meters, and run a half mile at a time on three separate trail runs.
The entry fee for the event, which starts at 8 a.m., is $50 per two-person team.
