The Experience
The Huntsville Half & 10k returns to the piney woods of East Texas, starting and finishing on the campus of Sam Houston State University at Bowers Stadium. The half-marathon consists of two loops of a course that includes an out-and-back section, while the 10k runners do one loop with an earlier turnaround. This layout makes it a straightforward, no-frills race ideal for a tune-up ahead of the Houston Marathon or a relaxed half-marathon experience.
The course winds through Huntsville, a small college town with a quiet, community feel. While spectator support is modest, the low-key atmosphere suits runners focused on their own effort. Expect warm, humid conditions typical of November in Texas. All participants receive a T-shirt, and the finish line offers the simple satisfaction of a well-run race on a classic course.
Race-provided description
The half-marathon in Huntsville is back, using much of the traditional course! It is now accompanied by a 10k, utilizing the same course and running concurrently with the half-marathon. Both races start and finish at Bowers Stadium on the campus of Sam Houston State University. The half is two loops and the 10k is one loop with a slightly earlier turn-around on the out and back section. Join us as we bring this classic race back. It’s great timing for a tune-up race for those training for the Chevron Houston Marathon, and a great race for those just wanting to enjoy running a half-marathon or 10k. We look forward to you joining us.
