Organiser's Description

THIS RACE IS SOLD OUT!!

Get ready for 2026! We are going back to the original course, starting at Mainland and ending at McAllister. Still 26.2 miles but more downhill. Records will be broken!



In celebration of the great Howard Peak Greenway System, you and your team can cover 26.2 miles of this beautiful, scenic, shaded course that explores the many parks along the Leon and Salado creeks at the edge of the Texas Hill Country in San Antonio. You can have a minimum of 2 and up to 5 runners per team and there are several categories for you to compete against other teams. This is a point-to-point course and each leg of the marathon relay explores a different section of the Greenway trails. There are 5 Relay Legs that vary in length, so you will have to strategize on which of your runners to put on which leg.



The race starts at the Rim Trailhead off Vance Jackson Road and ends at the McAllister Dog park trailhead where a celebration and medals will be waiting for your team. Complete map and instructions can be found under the Runner Race Guide menu tab.



If you have never participated in a point-to-point relay before, you are in for quite the adventure.
