Why run a race in September
It is still summer out there. September usually stays hot across most of Texas, especially early in the month, and humid on the coast. Plan for a warm start, go out conservatively and check the forecast the week of the race.
The fall calendar starts filling up. 85 races remain on the Texas calendar this September, and 59 of them are on Saturdays.
It is a checkpoint before peak season. A September 5K or 10K is a good fitness check before the busiest months. Plan ahead with the October races, November races and December races.
