About the Lubbock Marathon

The marathon anchors a local fall running weekend in the Hub City. It favors runners who prefer an accessible community race and a manageable field over crowded corrals and elaborate entertainment.

Course

The paved route uses broad Lubbock streets and long straight segments. Elevation changes are modest, but turns, underpasses, and relentless exposure to wind can have a larger effect than the map suggests.

Race-day weather

Late October may be cool and dry, warm and sunny, or sharply windy. West Texas air is often dry, so runners should drink consistently even on a mild morning.
