Thanksgiving is the big morning. Run Thru the Woods, Addi’s Faith in Kingwood and the Better Together Turkey Trot in Spring all fall on November 26. Run Thru the Woods prices step up on November 23, and Addi’s Faith guarantees shirts, bibs and medals only to entries by November 1. Every other trot is on our Texas turkey trot guide.
Plan your own water on the trail races. Explore The Falls runs four of its 10K miles on trail around Lake Holcomb with about 2 miles between water stops, and the Last Man Standing Ultra loops a 5K every 50 minutes, so bring what you need between loops.
Training for a half? The Woodlands Galloway Training Program, also on RunSignup, is a 27-week run-walk-run half marathon training group with early Saturday group runs, the first three free. For a goal race, see the Houston half marathon guide.
Respect the heat outside winter. From late spring to early fall, run at sunrise, drink before you are thirsty and run by effort rather than pace. Stop and cool down for heavy sweating, weakness or clammy skin; call 911 for confusion or slurred speech. Our zone 2 guide covers training through it.
November 2026 is the busiest month on the current The Woodlands & Spring calendar, with 8 races.
