HOUSTON – It’s race day! The Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Half Marathon took place on Sunday in downtown.
This is the city’s largest single-day sporting event.

This year, 34,000 people ran in the marathon.
300,000 people were expected this weekend as runners, volunteers, and spectators.
The 26.2 mile race winds around several areas, mostly within the loop.
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.
