Houston Marathon
The Houston Marathon is a tradition that has been held since 1972. Held every January in Houston, Texas, USA, runners challenge their own limits while experiencing the city's history and vitality. Starting in the downtown area near Minute Maid Park, runners run through beautiful cityscapes such as Houston Heights and Neartown. They pass Hermann Park and Rice University and head uptown. They pass through Memorial Park and Allen Parkway before finishing at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown.
