About this race

Rad Racing Company proudly presents... the 2nd Annual Memorial Day Hero Salute!!

 

Every Memoridal Day we meet at the Town Center Park in Kingwood to honor those who gave it all for our freedoms by completing/competing in one of two Hero Races: MURPH / LOREDO, or a Half-Marathon / 5K/10k ... 10 and Under fun: Kids Mini-Salute (short mini hero race).
