The 2026 Austin Marathon was an unforgettable experience. I've run in Austin before, but this was my first time running a full marathon in Texas, and it did not disappoint. From start to finish, the energy on the course was incredible.

The Austin Marathon was such an amazing experience—I woke up feeling excited and energized, and throughout the race I felt incredibly grateful. The support from the community was overwhelming, and I've never felt so encouraged by complete strangers.

Austin Marathon was everything I dreamed it would be and more. The race organizers deserve all the praise—a true well-oiled machine. Austin's community showed up and showed OUT. The businesses, run clubs, spectators, DJs, and bands brought nonstop energy. You name it, they had it.

The 2026 @austinmarathon weekend was a blast! It was so fun to spend time with some of our RTTW crew and experience a new city. The race was electric, the hills humbling and the vibes unparallelled!
