About the "Hometown of Heroes" Half Marathon
The course runs through Edinburg on flat pavement, threading past city landmarks and parks along the way. It moves through recognizable parts of town rather than looping a single area, so the scenery shifts as you go. Several distance options are available, from a shorter road race up to the half marathon, and a relay format lets two runners split the longer distance.
Packet pickup is at a city location, with the date and time to be confirmed by the organizers. The start is early morning, so plan to arrive with a few minutes to settle in before the gun goes off.

The "Hometown of Heroes" Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
