Baylor Scott & White College Station Marathon + Half Marathon : December 13, 2026
The event offers multiple race options through College Station, Bryan, and the Texas A&M campus from a central location at 1015 Colgate Drive. Distances include:
- 26.2 miles Marathon
- 13.1 miles Half Marathon
- 4‑Runner Marathon Relay, each leg about 6.5 miles
- 8‑Runner Marathon Relay, each leg about 3.2 miles
The courses are described as fairly flat with some rolling hills on miles 7–13 of the marathon. Routes pass through shady neighborhoods and several golf courses, and the marathon course is USAT&F certified and a Boston Marathon qualifying race.
Aid stations are provided every 1.5 miles and offer water and Gatorade. The marathon has a 6.5 hour time limit and the course closes on a rolling schedule based on a 15:00 per mile pace. The half marathon converges with the full course around mile 8, which gives half marathon runners additional time after that point. Dogs, bicycles, and strollers are not allowed on the course.
All participants receive a short sleeve softstyle participant shirt. Marathon and half marathon finishers receive a finisher jacket and a custom medal. Relay runners registered in advance receive a shirt and those who run on race day receive a custom medal. A post race party with food and beer follows the finish and is open to relay participants.
Packet pick up and an expo with local vendors take place Saturday, December 12, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Packets are available only at packet pick up; there is no race day packet pick up and packets will not be mailed. Age minimums are 14 years for the marathon and 12 years for the half marathon and team relays. Registration fees are non refundable and transfers or deferrals have specific deadlines.
