BCS Marathon and Half Marathon

BCS Marathon and Half Marathon is held in College Station, Texas, on December 13, 2026, with a marathon (26.2 miles) and a half marathon (13.1 miles) on the program. The routes take in the Bryan and College Station community and the Texas A&M campus, and they are described as mostly flat with a few hills, with aid stations along the way. Every entrant gets a shirt; marathon and half marathon finishers add a jacket and a custom medal, and relay runners receive a shirt and a finisher medal too. Food and drink follow at a post-race celebration.

A course without serious climbing is one where pacing discipline pays. For the marathon, that means holding goal pace from the start rather than banking minutes, on the back of sixteen to eighteen weeks with a long run reaching 20 miles. The half needs about twelve, and the relay lets a group split the distance.
