Discover the Spindle Tree parkrun, a free, fun, and friendly weekly 5K event held every Saturday morning at 7:30 AM at the Spindle Tree Jogging Trail in The Woodlands, TX. This community-focused event welcomes walkers, joggers, and runners of all abilities to enjoy a scenic 5000m course, accurately measured and run on a mixture of permanent and trail paths. The course features three loops of a purpose-built jogging trail, with the start and finish conveniently located near the trail entrance. Be aware that some sections may accumulate mud, leaves, and puddles after rain, adding to the trail experience. Public restrooms are available in May Valley Park, about half a mile from the start.

On April 25, 2026, participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 82°F and lows around 61°F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather as the spring season continues. Since its inception in January 2022, Spindle Tree parkrun has built a reputation as an inclusive, volunteer-led event where personal bests are celebrated, and a strong sense of community thrives. It's not uncommon to see visitors from across the country and even international guests joining the local contingent.

What truly makes Spindle Tree parkrun unique is its welcoming atmosphere and the strong emphasis on participation, whether you're pushing for a new personal record or simply enjoying a walk with friends, family, strollers, or even a dog on a leash. While there are no formal aid stations, the camaraderie continues post-event with a traditional gathering for coffee at Starbucks on Woodlands Parkway.
