There's still time to register for The Woodlands YMCA Run Thru the Woods

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- There is still time to register for the annual YMCA Run Thru The Woods Presented by Entergy, held on Thanksgiving morning at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands.

This year marks the event’s 28th year as one of Texas’ premier running and walking family events. The charity event expects to attract more than 4500 participants from around the country.

On Thanksgiving morning, thousands of people will make their way through The Woodlands as participants of Run Thru The Woods. The annual event has been a source of fundraising for local charities for 27 years raising more than two million dollars.

The event is designed for a wide variety of participants and offers walkers and runners the choice of a 5-mile run, 3-mile run, 3-mile walk and a 1-mile kid’s race for children ages 12 and younger. All participants will receive a swag bag, t-shirt, finisher medal and complimentary pancake breakfast prepared by The Egg & I.

“YMCA Run Thru The Woods is a great way to begin Thanksgiving Day and kick off the holiday season,” said Roxanne Davis, community liaison of The Woodlands Family YMCAs. “There’s the excitement of thousands of people pulling together with purpose, and it’s a great way to spend time with family and friends, to encourage each other, and give thanks and support local nonprofits, including the YMCA.”

Registration ends at Noon on Wednesday, November 22. If you are not able to join us, please support our efforts and register online as Sleeping In for Cause! To learn more and register for YMCA Run Thru The Woods, visit runthruthewoods.org.
