Five Or More The Woodlands Marathon 5K Finishes


Since The Woodlands Marathon returned in 2012, there's been a companion 5K to go with the marquee race and the Half Marathon.

In 2019, it was the first year that the 5K moved to another weekend - one week preceding - to allow runners to complete a two-race double.

There have been 6,791 official timed finishers in those eight years.

5,690 unique people have crossed the finish line, including 801 who have done the 5K in two or more years. 

Meaning 14.1% of all of the athletes competing in the 5K have finished more than once.

No one has finished the 5K all eight years, but 19 athletes have completed the 5K five or more years.  They are as follows:

7 Years

Mark Posey, Spring
