WELCOME TO THE 35TH ANNUAL ASCENSION SETON AUSTIN MARATHON

Welcome to the 35th Anniversary of the Ascension Seton Austin Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K—a huge milestone for the Running Social Event of the Year.

Whether you're conquering the marathon, taking on the half, or flying through the 5K, this weekend is all about you—your training, your determination, your moment.

What to Expect

Race weekend kicks off at the Health & Fitness Expo, where you’ll pick up your bib, grab exclusive anniversary gear, and connect with fellow runners who’ve been counting down the days just like you.

Once you're checked in, it’s time to dial in your game plan. Study the course maps, review the elevation charts, and get familiar with aid station locations—every detail helps set you up for success.

New for 2026, we’ve upgraded the entire experience. Start corrals are more efficient, cheer zones have been added to boost your spirits when you need it most, and the app has been streamlined so you’ve got everything you need at your fingertips.

Your Route to Glory

From start to finish, this course delivers peak Austin vibes. You’ll run through historic neighborhoods, vibe with live music downtown, and cross the finish line in front of the iconic Texas State Capitol—a picture-perfect moment made for your feed.

This isn’t just a race. It’s Run Austin®—and it’s legendary.

Swag Worth Bragging About

That feeling when you cross the finish line? It gets even better. Every finisher earns our signature belt buckle medal (yes, even our 5K legends 👊), and marathoners walk away with an exclusive long sleeve finisher tee to show off your accomplishment all year long.

Finish Strong. Celebrate Hard.

Once the race is behind you, the real party begins. Head to the Finisher Festival on Congress Avenue for local food trucks, ice-cold brews (21+), and live music that’ll keep your runner’s high going strong. Bring your best dance moves—and your appetite for celebration.
