Memorial Hermann’s ‘10 for Texas’ races will impact traffic this weekend

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The weather will be cloudy and cool this weekend, and multitudes of athletes will celebrate it by flooding The Woodlands streets for the annual Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas 10-mile race, 3.1 Armadillo Run 5K, and One 4 Texas Kids’ Fun Run. The races – which are produced by The Woodlands Township Parks and Recreation Department – will be held this Saturday, October 7, beginning (and ending) at Northshore Park. The race will conclude with a Texas-sized Post Race Party featuring live music.
