The Woodlands Marathon is a full-course marathon based in The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands Marathon course is USA Track and Field and IAAF certified which makes it a qualifier for the Boston Marathon and is considered one of the top 25 fastest courses in the country.[1]

About

In 2017, the marathon was cut short due to the course to be incomplete and shortened. The marathon was cut short by 0.8 miles as the lead motorcyclist lead the runners in the wrong direction.[2]

In 2021 the traffic impact made streets close down for the marathon course.[3]

Fidelity Investments was the title sponsor of the race until 2022 when Legacy Capital signed a deal to sponsor the event from 2022-2026.[4]

The Woodlands Marathon uses amateur radio operators to assist with communications throughout the race.
