A flat, wildlife-rich marathon loop through Brazos Bend State Park
The Brazos Bend Marathon covers the park's iconic loop course on flat crushed rock, hiking trail, and horse trail surfaces — with alligators watching from the water's edge. Generous cutoffs and excellent aid station support make it a great choice for trail runners stepping up from road marathons.
