Participant Tracking App / Race Results
All registered participants in the Houston Half & 10K can sign up for a tracking app which gives their friends and family the ability to monitor them while they are on the course. They can also view their results and other runners on the course.
A link to the app will be released within a week of the race.
Details will be sent to registered participants Tuesday evening, October 21, 2025.
Parking
Houston has extensive parking in the downtown area. Sam Houston Park, our home base for the race, is on the western edge of down town. There are numerous surface parking lots and garages most of which generally charge a fee for parking. Bring small bills with you if this is your parking choice. Here is a link to an interactive map of parking facilities:
Select Sam Houston Park in the top left corner for the areas closest to the race.
On-street, metered parking is available during the day on most downtown streets. Meters are FREE all day Sunday. DO NOT park in valet zones or commercial zones (marked with red meters or red striping on the street). Please always read the signs before you park!
Arrive early is always good advice as the parking closest to the race fills up early. Street closures in preparation for the race may also complicate reaching the downtown area.
BIKE VALET: Interested in skipping the vehicle traffic, use our free bike valet service. We offer a Bike Valet service for those who wish to commute on two wheels and will safely store the bicycles of participants, as your bib will be your valet ticket. It is staffed and secure.
Will the race be held if it’s raining?
The Houston Half Marathon & 10K is a “rain or shine” event.
However, if weather conditions threaten the safety of participants, the race would be cancelled without refund as a portion of all proceeds benefit Memorial Park Conservancy and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department as well as numerous other area nonprofits.
Will there be video of the finish line?
Yes! Your personal finish line video will be viewable through a link on your race results page the week following the race.
Where can I get my race photos?
Race photos will be captured with FREE photo downloads for all participants.
If you would like to obtain your free race photos after the event, please make sure you wear your bib on the front of your body so the photographer can easily identify you in the gallery.
Is there a time limit for finishing?
The Houston Half Marathon & 10K course closes at 11 am. Roads will be reopened to traffic in a staged manner after race start based on a 4 hour finish timeline.
Participants will be assigned to corrals to help with race flow at the start of the event. Later corrals will cross the starting some period of time after the official event start, which can impact how much time those individuals have to finish.
Runners/walkers still on the course when roads are about to reopen will be either be picked up and transported to the finish line or offered the opportunity to finish using pedestrian sidewalks along the course rather than the roadways. Please note: this could apply to half marathoners with a pace of over 17 mins/mile or 10k participants with a pace of over 30 mins/mile depending on when they cross the starting line.
