About the Chevron Houston Marathon

Houston is one of the strongest winter marathons in the United States, with fast fields, polished operations, and a long results history. It is a serious target for both local runners and athletes chasing fast times.

Course

The marathon uses a Houston city-road course that rewards even pacing more than hill strength. The race has enough field depth to help runners settle into goal pace early.

January in Houston can be cool and quick, but humidity, wind, or sudden warmth are always possible. Runners should be ready to adjust effort if the Gulf Coast shows up.
