Explore The Falls Race
Explore The Falls Race is a series of running and walking events held around Lake Holcomb and on the streets of The Falls at Imperial Oaks in Spring, TX. The event mixes paved roads, gravel/grass sections, and purpose-built trail segments.
Available distances:
- Kids 1K - out-and-back on a closed, blocked-off road
- 2 Mile - out-and-back on concrete road; no age group awards
- 5K - 1 mile road, 1 mile gravel/grass/trail, 1 mile road (out-and-back)
- 10K - 1 mile road, 4 miles trail, 1 mile road
The 5K and 10K share the same roads and trails; the 5K turns back at about 1.55 miles while the 10K continues around Lake Holcomb and returns via Imperial Promenade. The kids 1K is entirely on closed road for child safety.
The 10K includes a time requirement: participants must average 16:00 per mile or better. Runners who do not meet the cut-off may be transported from mile 5 to the finish so roads can reopen.
On-course hydration is provided twice on the 5K (near miles 1.3 and 1.8) and three times on the 10K (near miles 1.3, 2.5 and 4.7), with the longest gap between water stations being roughly two miles. Registration includes race photos, event shirt, finisher medal, on-course nutrition, race bib, age group awards where offered, a swag bag, and a race expo. Registrations after Thursday, October 16 will not be guaranteed a shirt size. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
