About This Race
The Texas Marathon is a New Year's Day tradition held in the Kingwood community northeast of Houston. The flat course winds through the tree-lined greenbelt trails and neighborhoods of Kingwood, known as the Livable Forest. The event offers both marathon and half marathon distances and is popular with runners seeking a fast start to the new year and those chasing Boston qualifying times on the gentle terrain.
