   We are heading down toward Town Center on Saturday morning for soccer pictures and someone just mentioned that the 10 for Texas race is on October 10. Does anyone have the specific list of road closures around Town Center and the village connectors for the morning hours? I really do not want to get trapped in traffic with three kids in the back of the car.

   Three kids, one minivan, zero silence.

   There are threads on this every single October. That being said, the Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas race is on October 10 and it always shuts down major sections around Town Center and the connecting roads into the villages during the morning hours. Plan on heavy traffic delays anywhere near the race route until late morning.

   This has been covered. Twice.

   Back before the Township incorporated, the race routes used to feel a little simpler to navigate, but now with all the traffic around Town Center it is definitely best to avoid the main thoroughfares entirely during the morning event hours on October 10. The Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas brings in thousands of runners so the local authorities and organizers close key sections of the roads connecting Town Center to the nearby villages. If you need to cross over from the west side to the east side that morning, you will want to take the outer loops or stick to the highway.

   Thanks for the heads up Andy. Do you happen to know if the closures start super early in the morning? Just trying to figure out if we need to leave Woodforest ridiculously early to beat the delays.

   The closures and morning delays usually start quite early when they set up the course markers around Town Center. I remember when this race was a much smaller neighborhood run decades ago, but now the Memorial Hermann 10 for Texas takes over key thoroughfares and surrounding village connectors for hours. My husband tried getting to the grocery store on race morning a few years back and ended up stuck at a detour for half an hour.

   Old enough to remember when Research Forest was two lanes.

   Traffic around Town Center on race mornings is almost as crazy as parking for a sold-out concert at the Pavilion. If you are anywhere near the race route on October 10 during the morning event hours, expect delays along all the village connectors. I learned my lesson years ago and just stay home until the afternoon.
