The race begins and ends at the Tanger Outlet Mall, where our usual festivities take place. This not-so-sleepy college town is conveniently located midway from San Antonio and Austin. With downtown San Marcos being just minutes away, there's plenty to do post event, whether you fancy yourself some adult beverages, Tex-Mex cuisine, live music, or all-around good times.

Marktplatz

Fredericksburg lies about an hour or so northwest of San Antonio, and an hour or so west of Austin. It may be the furthest away but it is the perfect excuse for a little runcation. Wineries, distilleries, and food, OH MY!

We’ll start at the Marktplatz (Market Square) in the heart of Fredericksburg. Half marathon runners will run to the famous Crapapple Road, which has great views and rolling hills in one large loop. Participants will return there, and be close to restaurants, clubs, shopping, wine, beer and German-style hospitality.

Race 4

Siesta Half Marathon, 10k and 5k

Siesta during Fiesta!

April 27, 2025

Mission County Park, San Antonio, Texas

The entire race will be on the River Walk, south.

Starting in Mission Country Park, this course was certified in the past and we are now bringing it back.

Post covid, we are now allowed to move our races back into Bexar County. We loved having this race in Comfort but now Siesta needs to return to Fiesta and get back to our San Antonio roots.

So if you are feeling a little overwhelmed with Fiesta Events this is a good chance to chill out with a great half marathon that runs on the San Antonio River, south. This out and back course will give you a chance to see your biggest competitors as they try to close in on you or you try to close in on them. The finish is the better than normal after party with a Fiesta Theme…no sleeping on the course, only after when you get home.
