In 2026, The Woodlands Marathon spreads across two weekends, starting on 21 February with the John Eagle Honda 5K Fun Run and 2K Fun Run/Walk from Town Green Park, then building toward the main events on Saturday, 28 February 2026. Marathon, half marathon and 10K participants share portions of a single-loop, flat course that traverses the streets of Town Center and surrounding neighbourhoods before finishing along the scenic Woodlands Waterway. Early-morning wave starts and extensive road closures make the route both beginner-friendly and one of Texas’s fastest Boston-qualifying options. A race expo and welcome events on 27 February plus a lively finish-line festival round out a full “race week” experience, with cheer zones and charity partners adding plenty of community energy.
