Winter and spring half marathons (January–May)
206 halves on the calendar. The best window for a personal best on the roads before the heat returns.
Summer half marathons (June–August)
36 halves on the calendar, far more than the full marathon calendar carries. Treat a summer 13.1 as a heat run: start conservatively, drink early and adjust your goal pace.

By region
How to choose a Texas half marathon
Standalone or series. The 106 standalone halves are one-off local races with their own course and crowd. Series races repeat the same theme across Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, so you can usually find one close to home.
Time of year. For a goal race, aim between late fall and early spring. The 36 summer halves are better treated as training runs or fun runs than PR attempts.
Road or trail. 337 are road or mixed-surface races and 22 run on trails. Trail halves in the Hill Country climb and cross rock, so expect a slower time than on the road.
Who's coming with you. 330 of these races also offer a 5K and 305 a 10K, so friends and family can run the same morning. 45 put on a full marathon too, if you're building toward 26.2.
Registration window. 333 of 359 have registration open today. Each race page shows the current RunSignup fee and when the next price tier starts.
