YMCA Run Thru the Woods

The YMCA Run Thru the Woods is a local tradition on Thanksgiving morning that supports non-profits in The Woodlands, Spring, and Oak Ridge communities. The event unites thousands of participants for various run/walk activities suitable for all ages and has raised over $3.5 million over the years. Participants receive a race shirt, a finisher medal, and a bib, with some races offering chip-timing and awards. Additional features include post-race snacks and photo opportunities. Proceeds support the YMCA's Annual Campaign, which funds programs like swim lessons, after-school care, outreach services, summer camps, and youth sports.
