Houston Marathon This Weekend!

The Houston Marathon will be taking over the city this weekend! Whether you are running or cheering, this annual event is one of Houston's most iconic!

The Houston Marathon was first run in December 1972. A mere 113 runners ran that race, compared to the 13,500 participants who now run in a race that is rated as one of the best marathons. There is also the option for runners to take part in the Houston Half Marathon on Sunday, January 19th as well as a 5K on Saturday, January 18th.

The course is a flat, fast, scenic and single-loop, having been rated by the Ultimate Guide To Marathons as the "fastest winter marathon" and "second fastest marathon overall".
