From downtown Houston through Montrose and River Oaks to the Galleria-area, and finally, making it’s way back to the finish line downtown.

The Aramco Houston Half Marathon also took place, and some attendees were not too excited about the chilly weather.

“We’re cold, but it’s fun and hopefully, they run fast,” Rick Bennett said.
