Whether you’re an athlete preparing for a great race or a spectator cheering at the finish line, we hope your weekend in The Woodlands is one to remember.

Welcome to the 2018 Fidelity Investments The Woodlands Marathon! On behalf of The Woodlands Marathon Management and the 2018 Race Committee, I would like to wish you a safe and enjoyable race. We are pleased to host the 7th Annual 2018 Fidelity Investments The Woodlands Marathon, Houston Methodist The Woodlands Half Marathon, Fleet Feet Sports The Woodlands 5k, Pathfinder Pediatrics Homecare 2k Fun Run and The Woodlands Marathon Relay. Over the last six months the Houston region and The Woodlands has been recovery from the effects with the natural disaster, Hurricane Harvey. In the wake of it’s devastation The Woodlands Marathon Management started The Woodlands Marathon Relief Fund. Along with multiple of charities and donations to volunteer organizations, The Woodlands Marathon event will eclipse the $1,000,000 mark in funds raised and donated. We cannot have done this without your support. Our courses are some of the fastest in the country and 2nd fastest in Texas in terms of average finishing times. We are eager for the runners to experience our fast, single loop full marathon course, which has earned the distinction of being one of the Top 25 courses in the United States and Canada to qualify runners for the Boston Marathon. Finishing along the waterway is one of the most beautiful finishes in the south. We take great pride in offering a world-class venue that allows runners from across the globe the opportunity to run their personal best. The event kicks off the Saturday prior with the Pathfinder Pediatric 2k Fun Run and the following Friday with the Houston Methodist Health and Fitness Expo. We finish on Saturday, March 3rd, with the running of the marathon, half marathon, relay and 5k events. Please help us by thanking all of our sponsors by using and promoting their products and services whenever possible. A tremendous thanks to our local businesses, residents within The Woodlands, the Commissioner of Precinct Three of Montgomery County, The Woodlands Township, The Woodlands Convention & Visitors, The Woodlands Development Company, our sponsors, the race committee, and of course our outstanding volunteers. Thank you to each and every one of you for making this a World Class Event!!!

Please discuss a meeting location with your team members before race day to make sure everyone is in agreement on the location. Relay Team Members may run in together.

6 Tips For Your First Race
IF YOU’RE GETTING READY FOR YOUR FIRST RACE, HERE ARE SOME Make sure nothing you wear is new.
Everything on your body, from socks to a headband should be road-tested.
Line up with runners of similar ability (corral assignments).
If you run a nine-minute mile find the part of the pack that runs your pace, and that won’t be at the front. Being swept into a pace that is too fast will be a bad experience and, of course, isn’t fair to the faster runners who will have to navigate around you.
Always begin slowly.
The easiest mistake for a beginning racer to make is to respond to the exuberance of the race and head out too fast. Doing so
50
2018 The Woodlands Marathon
begs for an injury or at best a rotten finish because you spent your energy too early in the course.
Use the water stations.
Keep yourself hydrated. Sports drinks can help keep your energy up.
Don’t be disheartened when other runners pass you during the race.
There will always be runners in front of you--and behind you.
Know when the cutoff time is for your race so that you can pace yourself accordingly. It is depressing to finish without a finish line and an official time. For a 10K, the cutoff is usually 1:30; for 15K, from 1:40 to 2:00; for some marathons, as much as 6:00.
