Spring Highlights

An aerial view of Town Green Park during the Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas. Rows and rows of bikes and biking equipment are lined up in the park. The Pavilion and various office buildings overlook the scene from behind.

Six IRONMAN athletes ride bikes toward the space to the right of the camera. Only the lead cyclist is in focus; he's wearing a bright blue and white athletic suit; a sleek blue helmet; and a reflective visor over his eyes. Behind them is a thick tree line and a row of power lines.

Athletes

Two women cheer on IRONMAN athletes running along The Waterway. They're holding up signs by Visit The Woodlands that read, "TAP HERE TO POWER UP" and "I don't know you, but I'm so proud of you!"

An aerial view of the Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas at the Waterway Avenue Bridge. The bridge features two tall pillars bearing banners that read the name of the event, and a large white "WATERWAY SQUARE" sign extends between them. There's a long red carpet with the IRONMAN name and logo that reaches across the finish line. Thousands of spectators crowd the sidelines & surrounding restaurant patios.

Finish Line

MEMORIAL HERMANN IRONMAN TEXAS

April 18, 2026

Whether you cheer them on through the “Hippie Hollow” no-walking zone or snap a picture at the finish line, this all-day event is sure to leave you breathless.

 

Artist Tony Parana Rodrigues stands in front of his work, smiling at the camera. He appears to be a Latino man in his 30s, wearing a pale pink button-down sport shirt, a white visor, and sunglasses hanging from a WWAF lanyard. He also has a large abstract tattoo on his left forearm. His paintings are colorful, abstract portrait. One is of a young Latino boy praying, his eyes looking to the heavens. Another is of a young girl staring directly at the viewer, her face and headscarf pieced together like a colorful floral quilt. A few others look to be distant skylines of other parts of the world.

White pop-up tents line The Waterway, where dozens of visitors are seen admiring the artwork on display. The walkway is shaded by thick green trees.
