Course Info
The race courses are fairly flat and fast, and the route includes plenty of shady neighborhoods, several golf courses, and enough crowd support to help you get to the finish for your first time or your fastest time. The marathon course has some rolling hills miles 7–13, but is otherwise mostly flat. The marathon course will also be USAT&F certified and a Boston Marathon qualifying race.
Aid Stations
Aid stations will be every 1.5 miles and include both water and Gatorade.
Course Time Limit
The time limit for completing the marathon is six and a half hours. The course closes on a rolling schedule based on a 15:00 per mile pace (6 hours and 30 minutes total) for both the half and full marathons. The half marathon converges with the full marathon around mile 8, which allows half marathoners extra time to complete the race after that point.
Dogs, bicycles, and strollers are NOT allowed anywhere on the course!!!
Race Swag
Our runners consistently tell us that our swag is the best around. All runners receive a short sleeve softstyle participant shirt and all Marathon and Half Marathon finishers also received a very sweet finisher's jacket, as well as a gorgeous custom finisher’s medal! Yes, we're serious.
Registered relay runners receive a softstyle shirt and those who run on race day will receive a custom finisher's medal.
All runners have the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishment at the post-race party immediately after crossing the finish line! You can expect a food and beer spread that beats any large marathon in Texas! All relay participants are eligible to participate in the post race party.
