Course, awards and policies

All road courses are loop routes. The 5k is a town loop through residential areas, the 10k extends into nearby countryside, and the half marathon combines town and country in a larger loop that reaches Crabapple Road and includes rolling hills. Participants receive a unisex tri-blend race shirt and all finishers receive a finisher medal. Awards are given 1st–4th for all distances; overall and masters awards are based on gun time, while age-group awards use chip time. Age categories run from 14 and under through 90+.

A 50% discount applies automatically for participants aged 16 and younger and for those 70 and older; combining this discount with other codes will result in disqualification. There are no refunds. Race-entry transfer fees apply ($20 two days before the race, $30 the day before); no transfers are allowed after race day. Fundraising partners include Marrow Match, Guide Dogs of Texas and San Antonio Young Marines. Sponsors include Alamo Beer Company, Kiolbassa Smoked Meats, Natural Grocers and others.
