Austin Marathon

The race weekend also features a half marathon and a 5K run with a two-day expo taking place on Friday and Saturday.

The race begins at 7:00 in the morning and features a highly competitive elite field.

[2] The 2021 edition of the marathon was cancelled, while the other races of the weekend were postponed to April 25, 2021, due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of transferring their entry to the new date, or to 2022, 2023, or 2024.

The race ends near where it begins at 9th and Congress Ave. in front of the picturesque Texas State Capitol.

The course that debuted in 2018 was designed to provide a better participant and spectator experience and allow enhanced traffic flow along the course, while still finishing with the picturesque Texas State Capitol as every runner's backdrop.

The event featured the Manzano Mile presented by Dole on the Saturday morning before the marathon in 2018-2020 taking place just outside the expo site on Riverside Drive.

Since 2014, Austin Gives Miles has raised $3.8 million for Central Texas nonprofit organizations.
