San Marcos Half Marathon

San Marcos Half Marathon is held in San Marcos, Texas, on February 7, 2027, organized by ScallyWompus. The single format is the half marathon (13.1 miles), starting at 7:30 a.m. from the Tanger Outlet Mall near downtown San Marcos, a college town that is home to Texas State University and the San Marcos River. Every finisher receives a medal, and awards are given across several categories. Elevation gain is not listed.

An early February half in central Texas is well placed for a personal best: the weather is usually cool at 7:30 a.m., and the date works nicely as a fitness check on the way to a spring marathon. Plan a 12- to 16-week build with a weekly long run climbing to 11 or 12 miles, plus one session at goal half pace each week, and you will arrive ready to race the second half rather than survive it. If this is your first half, walk breaks at the aid stations are a perfectly good strategy.
