Race Information

Every Memoridal Day Rad Racing Company proudly meets at the Town Center Park in Kingwood to honor those who gave it all for all freedoms by completing/competing in one of two Hero Races: MURPH / LOREDO, or a Half-Marathon/5K/10k and Kids Mini-Salute. Post-race will end with a Kids and Winners Tug-of-War Competition!

So, before you fire-up those grills and put on your swim suit, lace-up your kicks and run along side to raise funds for awesome heros & families and push yourself to a new level of courage.

They did it for us... we can do it for them. See you on the course!
