2015 Austin Marathon and Half Marathon Highlight Video Participants race on open roads along unique neighborhoods and iconic landmarks including the Texas State Capitol on historic Congress Avenue. February 19, 2023 Start Time : 7:00 a.m. Being a Boston Marathon qualifier, the Austin Marathon attracts a lot of applicants. For this reason places fill quickly and applicants are advised to apply as soon registration opens. In 2009 more runners took part in the Boston marathon having declared a qualifying time from Austin than any other marathon in Texas. Austin Marathon Route The race starts at 16th Street and Congress Avenue, near the capitol. Runners then make their way through downtown Austin, finishing at 10th Street and Congress Avenue. During the first 17 miles of the marathon runners climb a total of 304 feet. This elevation happens in a stair step fashion, allowing them to use a variety of muscle groups in their legs and to allow time to recover with intermittent downhill and level running surfaces. The last nine miles take runners downhill at an average rate of 33 feet per mile. Austin Marathon Entry Contact Details Further Information

Is the Austin Marathon Hilly?It has a surprising amount of hills, with the hardest being around the 12 mile mark (end of half marathon), around the 18 mile mark (Dean Keaton), and a soul-crushing one at the very end (right around the 26 mile mark). The music along the course is fun, and the aid stations are well-run.
