Heatwave Half Marathon - Houston
The Heatwave Half Marathon in Houston is a summer running event that offers a variety of distances for participants of different ages. The event features multiple race formats, including individual distances and a relay option for those who wish to form a team. Participants can choose between several competitive and non-competitive categories:
- 50 m Kids Dash (untimed dash for children ages 10 and under)
- 1 Mile (untimed run)
- 5 K (chip-timed race)
- 10 K (chip-timed race)
- 13.1 Miles (individual half marathon)
- 13.1 Miles Relay (multi-member team half marathon)
Competitive distances, including the 5 K, 10 K, and Half Marathon, utilize chip-timing technology to provide participants with live results and eligibility for awards. All registrations for these distances include a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. To help runners cool off after the race, free ice cream is provided at the finish line.
The event also includes a virtual race option for those unable to attend in person, allowing participants to complete their chosen distance at any location and receive their commemorative items by mail. For those interested in assisting with the event, a volunteer option is available that allows individuals to help with packet pickup before participating in a run.
Youth-based pricing is available for participants aged 12 and under on the 5 K and 10 K courses. Additionally, children participating in the Kids Dash have the option to run for free if they do not require the event shirt and medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
