Aramco Houston Half Marathon

Run alongside the Chevron Houston Marathon, the Aramco Houston Half is a major winter target for professionals and recreational runners alike. The event’s scale, organization, and speed make it especially attractive for a personal-record attempt.

The half shares the downtown start with the marathon and follows a flat city route before returning to the George R. Brown Convention Center area. Broad roads and limited elevation reward even pacing, though turns and early congestion still need attention.

January often brings cool running temperatures, but Houston can also turn humid or warm quickly. Check the forecast closely and avoid locking into a pace that assumes perfect winter conditions.
