Besides passing out food & water, cheering and keeping the area clean for all the runners, duties include setting up (1st shift), working like crazy (2nd shift) and breaking down the aid station (3rd shift).

TWRC Scholarship (Due March 31st)
Starting in May 2009, The Woodlands Running Club (“TWRC”) awarded two college scholarships to seniors who graduate in May or June from high schools in The Woodlands area. The scholarships were awarded to one female and one male graduate who evidenced a strong commitment to running. The scholarship program was started as an initiative of former TWRC President Tony Allison and board members in 2009. That year the scholarships were $1000 each and in 2010 the amount of the scholarship was increased to $1500 each. The scholarship was further increased to $2000 each in 2014.
