ews and Boston Marathon qualification potential!
This is a USATF-certified marathon course: Certification code: TX25015LAB. Course specifically designed with Boston qualification in mind! Our 1.64-mile loop format allows runners to master the course with each lap, creating the perfect opportunity to strategically pace your way to a BQ time.
1.64 miles per loop (16 loops for full marathon, 8 for half)
Smooth, consistent running conditions for optimal performance
Learn the course quickly and optimize your speed on every section
Set up your nutrition exactly how you want it and access it every 1.64 miles
The paved course features moderate climbs and gentle descents. This balanced profile prevents the quad fatigue of excessive downhill courses while providing enough variety to engage different muscle groups.
Our unique loop course format offers strategic benefits for Boston hopefuls! The marathon course is USATF-certified (certification code: TX25015LAB) and a Boston Marathon qualifier — carefully designed to help runners achieve qualifying times. The loop format lets you become intimately familiar with every turn and elevation change.
By your third lap, you'll know exactly where to push and where to conserve energy - a strategic advantage for hitting your Boston Marathon qualification attempt!
Accurate splits and finish times for all participants
Track your progress every lap to perfect your pacing
Your supporters can cheer you on multiple times without moving
Challenge coin and medal for all finishers
Advent Run to New Year Challenge and Winter Marathon Series
Personal Pacers Welcome
Personal pacers are welcome at our Star of Texas Marathon event! For a nominal fee, pacers will receive park entry, insurance coverage, and an official PACER bib. Each registered runner may have only one pacer on course at any time, and pacers may join their runner after the first loop.
Our unique loop format creates the perfect environment for pacing support, allowing pacers to join or exit at the start/finish area and access personal aid stations alongside their runner.
Pacers must register in advance, sign the event waiver, and follow all race rules including wearing their designated bib at all times. For Boston Qualifier hopefuls, rest assured that our pacer policy complies with BAA requirements. Whether you need support for the full marathon or just those challenging final miles, our pacer-friendly course design offers the ideal setting for achieving your race day goals.
Maintain 18:13/mile pace or faster (28:15 per loop) to finish before the cutoff
Special Provision: Marathon participants who complete at least 8 loops (half marathon distance) but don't finish the full marathon by the 3:00 PM cutoff will receive official half marathon recognition and their medal.
10K participants will complete four full loops of our scenic course, while 5K runners will conquer two loops - all finishers earn a commemorative medal.
Join us at Pace Bend Park on December 14th for a unique loop course experience with Boston Qualifier potential!
