DG's review of 2021 Woodlands Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

The swag was pretty good, the course was well-organized, and the whole process went well. The start was a few minutes later than expected, but with the rolling start to socially-distance runners, it wasn't completely unexpected.


Race Tips

Get there early enough to find parking and get lined up. Also, expect traffic in trying to leave - just relax and enjoy the area while you wait for roads to open back up :)

Anonymous's review of 2017 Woodlands Marathon.   

1 / 5 Stars

Review

Every single race seems to have a major issue. This year the corse was too short. Many 5k participants didn't get shirts. Another year the full marathon shirts said half marathon.

KRT's review of 2017 Woodlands Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

Course is great, lots of restroom and refreshment stood along the way too.


Race Tips

Course is mostly flat, through The Woodlands, TX. The course gets narrow at the end as you get on The Waterway Towards the finish line (less than 0.5 mile). Lots of parking too.
