Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 HOUSTON

Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 HOUSTON is run in Houston, Texas, on December 12, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run go off together at 7:30 a.m. for a sunrise start on a scenic course. Timing is optional, and each athlete receives a performance race shirt, a finisher medal and a digital training pack.

Mid-December is good timing for a sharpening effort before a winter or early-spring goal race. Raced honestly, the half tells you where your endurance really sits with weeks still left to fix it; the 10K does the same job at a lower cost in recovery. Whichever you enter, rehearse race morning in training first, including the early breakfast a 7:30 a.m. start forces on you, and settle your drink plan before you stand on the line.
