USATF CERTIFIED COURSE
After a one-year hiatus, we will once again run the single-loop course! Check out our UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & Houston 10K routes with a great start into Downtown Houston, fast straight-aways on Allen Parkway, and then a beautiful view of Downtown for the finish. Our pre-/post-race area will be at the historic Sam Houston Park!
Houston Half Marathon Course Map
Houston 10K Course Map TX19014JH
WALKER-FRIENDLY
The course will remain open until 11 AM, giving runners and walkers a generous 4hrs (half) and 3.5 hours (10k) from the starting gun to finish!
Note: Please be aware, that the start line schedule may change as planning progresses and will impact the hours on the course. Your health and safety are our number one priority.
ELEVATION PROFILE
Mostly flat with some 'bumps' along the Allen Parkway
ABOUT HOUSTON HALF KIND STRIDE PROGRAM
