Run the Alamo takes runners through the historic heart of San Antonio on a course that passes directly by the Alamo, along the famous River Walk, and through the King William Historic District — one of the most beautiful residential neighborhoods in Texas. The course delivers a genuine tour of San Antonio’s layered history, from Spanish colonial missions to Victorian-era mansions, all connected by the winding San Antonio River.
The March timing puts you in San Antonio at one of its most pleasant windows — temperatures in the 60s with low humidity, before the Texas summer heat arrives. The course is flat to gently rolling on city streets, making it a comfortable option for runners of all levels. The race’s proximity to the River Walk means spectators can easily move between course sections, creating pockets of energy throughout the route.
San Antonio International Airport is about 15 minutes from downtown, and the River Walk area offers some of the most convenient race-weekend logistics of any destination half marathon — hotels, restaurants, and the start/finish are all within easy walking distance. The city’s Tex-Mex scene is legendary, and the restaurants along the River Walk and in the Pearl District offer excellent pre-race dining options.
