UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K
The UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K is a multi-event road race held in Houston with races for runners, handcycle athletes, and wheelchair competitors. The event is presented by the Houston Striders, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) running club that supports community wellness and charitable outreach and has donated over $1 million to Houston-area organizations. The club reports more than 500 active members and has organized races in the city since 1985.
The courses run near central Houston and feature long stretches along Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive. The half marathon is described as mostly flat with a few gentle bumps along Allen Parkway. The 10K is an out-and-back route primarily along Allen Parkway with minimal elevation change.
The course layout includes operational cutoff points where participants may be turned toward the finish if unable to proceed, and the event materials note that timing and start line details may change as planning progresses for safety reasons. The race base is listed at Sam Houston Park, 1000 Bagby St, Houston TX. The event also offers programs for fundraising and includes race-day services and resources such as pacers, packet pickup, and a health fair.
