About the Texas Sun Showdown Half Marathon, Relay & 5k
The course does a couple of loops for the half marathon, which means you pass through the finish area before you are done. The relay option lets teams split the distance, and there are categories for open, masters, and military groups. The 5K runs a separate route. Texas barbecue is at the finish.
Packet pickup runs at a local running store called iRun Bitters across the two days before the race, with a race-morning window as well. Pick up relay batons on race day under the event tent. Your bib needs to be visible at the finish to get to the food.

The Texas Sun Showdown Half Marathon, Relay & 5k has been held every year since at least 2018. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
