The Chevron Houston Marathon is the largest single-day sporting event in the City of Houston. Runners come from all 50 states and over 54 countries to challenge themselves on one of the fastest courses in the country. The Houston Marathon Committee is proud to host this event weekend each January in the Bayou City for the past 52 years.

2024 saw record breaking performances in our world-class races, including a new marathon course record set by Zouhair Talbi (2:06:36) of Morocco, a new women’s half marathon course record set by Sutume Asefe Kebede (1:04:37), and a new women’s half marathon American-record by Weini Kelati (1:06:25). Over 34,000 registered runners will take over the streets of Houston once again in January.
