Houston Marathon & Half Marathon 2027Race-week travel for a PR-focused weekend
One downtown race morning, two distances and a course with a reputation for speed. We handle the travel so your energy goes into the taper.
About Houston Marathon & Half 2027
The Chevron Houston Marathon and the Aramco Houston Half Marathon take place together on Sunday 17 January 2027, and both had open registration at our last check. Because they share the same date, the same downtown base and the same race-week logistics, this one page covers both distances.
Houston is a performance race. The organizer promotes a flat, fast course, and in recent editions both races used a single downtown start and shared the route for the first miles before the Half split off. The George R. Brown Convention Center has served as the race-morning hub. That makes downtown the natural base for most runners: short walks on race morning and fewer moving parts.
Visterra Runs plans the trip around that downtown morning: a stay that suits the start, airport arrivals timed around your taper, and someone on WhatsApp to handle questions during the week.

Race week in Houston: what to plan for
Stay where race morning is short

Visterra recommendationArrive with the taper in mind
Houston has two major airports. We help you choose arrival timing and an airport that fit your flights without adding stress late in the taper.
