Houston Marathon
January 18, 2025 - January 19, 2025
The Houston Marathon is an annual marathon usually held every January in Houston, Texas, since 1972. With thousands of runners and spectators, it is the largest single day sporting event in the city. It is run concurrently with a half marathon and a 5 km race.
All courses are very flat with little elevation gain over the 13.1 and 26.2 miles. The Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon use a single start line for both races. The fueling stations are every 1.5 miles beginning at mile 2.
The races bring crowds of nearly one half million to view the runners.
