About the Red, White and Blue Half Marathon - Waco

The race is held at Indian Springs Park in Waco, with several distance options so groups with mixed goals can show up together. The course runs through park trails, so expect natural surroundings underfoot rather than pavement the whole way. A DJ runs the finish area throughout the morning, calling out runners by name as they cross.

After finishing, there are snacks and water at the race rally tent. Awards are handed out on-site, including Bigfoot trophies for top finishers in the longer distances.

Common Questions About the Red, White and Blue Half Marathon - Waco

Will I finish last at the Red, White and Blue Half Marathon - Waco?

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 52:49, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:46:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Red, White and Blue Half Marathon - Waco a good first 4 Miles?

It is a small race (129 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 4 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Red, White and Blue Half Marathon - Waco?

The 4 Miles winner ran 26:25 while the median finisher took 52:49. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
