ABOUT THE RACE

The Woodlands Half Marathon is fast becoming one of the top half marathons in Texas. It has sold out in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Woodlands Half Marathon will traverse the streets of Town Center and the community on a single loop 13.1-mile flat and fast course. Friends, family and spectators line the streets at various cheer zones to encourage runners along. Participants will have the opportunity to run for charities in The Woodlands Charity Challenge. The event will start on Lake Robbins Drive and finish on The Woodlands Waterway in front of cheering spectators.
