About the Event

Join us for the 2026 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K, where performance meets purpose. Hosted by the Houston Striders, this event brings together runners, walkers, and the local community to support wellness, charitable initiatives, and the love of running. With a scenic, mostly flat course and an inclusive race environment, there’s a place for everyone at the start line.

Fast, Flat, and Philanthropic: the Houston Half Marathon & 10K is presented by the Houston Striders, an all-volunteer, 501 (c) (3) non-profit focused on community wellness and charitable outreach. We are a metro-wide running club with over 500 active members and have been running Houston since 1985! In years past, we've given over $ 1 million to Houston-area organizations & non-profits. You also have the opportunity to raise money for your charity using the Kind Stride Program described below.

About Houston

Learn more about the host city, Houston.

Houston is a sprawling port city in Southeastern Texas. An oil boom and continuing international immigration has brought explosive growth to the city, and it is now the fifth largest metropolitan area in the United States and the most diverse large city since 2021. While at first glance, the city appears to be a 9-5 central business district surrounded by a sea of suburbs and strip malls, there are many hidden gems to be discovered.
