WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - Runners and walkers of all experience are less than 24 hours away from the 9th Xpress Half Marathon.
The Xpress Half Marathon starts at Memorial Stadium for the three distances. There’s a 5K, 12K, and half marathon.
Kati Welch who has run in this event before says she has lots of reasons to run.
“I love that it supports the community. I love that it supports the pets and my mom’s birthday is actually March 9 so it’s always right around my mom’s birthday so I can do it in honor of her too,” said Kati Welch, who is running the half marathon this year.
