Page 1/2 Austin Marathon and Half Marathon 2013/2014


The Austin Marathon is an annual race held in Austin, Texas in February. The first Austin Marathon appeared in 1992, and the last race was held on 17 February 2013. The event features a full and half marathon for both runners and walkers. The next Austin Marathon will take place on Sunday, 16 February 2014. Austin Marathon has previously been used as a qualifier for the Olympic team, and the running field is normally made up of both elite athletes and first-timers whose only hope is to complete within the timeframe and without hitting the wall - and everything in between. This diverse athlete field usually has representatives from all over the U.S. and from a dozen overseas countries. The course of the Austin Marathon is a loop around the city with start and finish lines in downtown Austin and a few rather challenging climbs.

The whole race weekend is dedicated to the event with the expo on Friday and Saturday and pasta party on Saturday. Sunday is the day of the race itself, which does not go by unnoticed by Austin citizens. A swarm of onlookers cheer the 14,000 runners on, and there are plenty of firework shows and bands to keep the festive spirit high.

Everybody who finishes the full or half marathon will receive a medal to celebrate and remember the achievement. In addition to this, awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in every age category, and of the special categories for employees in the police, military and fire department.
