The Oldest Half in Texas, it has to be Good!


Formerly known as "Moe's Better Half", this oldest half marathon is probably older than some of us now! - YEESH! This San MARVELOUS race ventures through a beautiful prairie landscape with that infamous rolling hill. The start and finish are in the Tanger Outlet Mall parking lot where our festivities take place. As always, post race you can count on the explosion of excitement and fun that is our Scallywompus style after-party! After all, our motto is "Come for the race, stay for the party!"

This not-so-sleepy town midway from San Antonio and Austin offers plenty to do for the rest of the day there whether you fancy yourself some more adult beverages, Tex-Mex cuisine, live music, shopping and all-around good times.

So get signed up and make a day or weekend out of it!
