The Heroes and Villains Half Marathon, presented by Bigfoot Running Company, is scheduled for September 13, 2026 in Austin, Texas. The exact start location is listed as TBD. The event includes in-person and virtual options and a family oriented set of race distances.
All finishers in every distance receive a medal and a shirt. Chip timing is provided for the 5K, Quarter Marathon, and Half Marathon. Overall winners receive a Bigfoot Trophy and the event also issues age group awards and recognition pins, including a masters category for ages 40 and older.

Packet pickup is available beginning 1.5 hours before the race start. The schedule includes a pre-race costume contest with prizes such as a $25 gift card, a free future race entry, and a Bigfoot Prize Pack, plus post-race awards, live results, and DJ music.
Volunteer roles include a Volunteer Then Run option that provides a chip timed 5K entry, shirt, and medal, and full race volunteer roles that include a race shirt, VIP access, and a choice of a future race entry or a $20 digital gift card.
