Running in Houston, Tx
Quote | Reply
I am going to be in Spring, Tx (northwest of Houston) this friday-monday. Does anyone know of a local running group I could join for a weekend run? I'm hoping to get a 12 mile run on either saturday or sunday morning. I've heard it's pretty flat out there. Thanks.

Not sure about groups, but Memorial park is a great place to run.

This is my backyard....it is flat out here, but if you come into Woodlands (just up I45), it is very runner friendly. There is a running group that gets together on Sun in the back of the Woodlands. I think that there is a different group that gets together on Sat AM at the front (which would be closer to you in Spring). I am headed over to Lukes Locker (local running shop) today, so I can check for you on the actual factuals for groups this weekend, but if you want to call them and ask, their number is 281-419-0326. Friendly staff.

Would you be looking to ride as well? There is a great riding group on Sunday AM.

If all else fails, I can point you to some good running loops depending on what you want (surface, topography, etc). Let me know.

No recent experience with this group, but probably the best place to look is the Houston Area Road Runners Association website (HARRA): http://www.harra.org/

Here is the link to the groups training schedule: http://www.harra.org/train.asp

They also have a nationwide 'route finder': http://www.harra.org/...ce=0.402665986282005

Also, this time of year several groups or organizations are holding running series to help athletes prep for the Houston Marathon so you might be able to jump in with one of the groups listed on the following webpage for a long run: http://www.hphoustonmarathon.com/...fm?publicationID=290

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I live in Kingwood area and run with one of the USA Fit groups on Saturday. We have a 9 miler set for Saturday morning.
There is a 25K marathon warm up series race on Sunday in Downtown Houston. Check out houston marathon web site for info. The other web sites that have been suggested are very good resources as well. Memorial park in the heartt of Houston is excellent as well.
Very flat no hill work for you this weekend. Good Luck
