Texas Running: Big City Marathons and Desert Ultras
Texas is home to some of the largest and most varied running events in the United States, reflecting its vast size and diverse geography, from coastal plains to arid mountains. The state features major marathons in its four largest cities. The Chevron Houston Marathon is a centerpiece, known for its extremely flat and fast course that attracts international talent and a huge number of Boston Marathon qualifiers. Its mid-January timing makes it a desirable escape from winter weather and a key early-season goal race.
Austin and Dallas: Speed and Culture
In the capital city, the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon is another major highlight, known for its fast start and scenic finish near the State Capitol. While it features some challenging hills in the middle, the lively atmosphere and the unique Austin culture along the route make it a popular favorite. Meanwhile, the Dallas Marathon offers a scenic tour through the city's unique neighborhoods and past major landmarks, often serving as a final chance for runners to secure a BQ time late in the year.
For runners seeking true endurance challenges, the Texas desert and mountain regions provide a stark contrast. Events like the Big Bend Ultra test athletes against the demanding terrain, extreme temperatures, and isolation of the Big Bend National Park. Whether tackling the flat speed of Houston or the rugged trails of the borderlands, running in the Lone Star State is always a massive undertaking.
