About the Heroes and Villains Half Marathon - Houston
The course runs through Brazos River Park, so there is green space around you for most of the route. The race leans hard into its superhero and villain theme, and a good portion of the field shows up in costume. A costume contest happens just before the start, with prize packs for the best looks. The post-race area has a DJ, snacks, and an awards ceremony.
