The Sugar Land Half Marathon, 10K, & Mile begins and ends at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, southwest of Houston. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, mile, Kids Half Marathon, and virtual participation. This suits runners seeking a longer road race, families, and those preferring shorter distances. The half marathon course is largely flat and fast, featuring accessible parking, a convenient start/finish area, and aid stations with water and Gatorade along the route. The half marathon follows a true loop course without out-and-back segments, and the 10K has been similarly redesigned. The half marathon route predominantly uses right turns, contributing to a fluid experience compared to courses with frequent reversals or crossings. The finish has been altered so participants enter from behind the venue rather than around the parking lot, with parking remaining accessible after the race begins. The participants include age-group runners, invitational and guardian divisions, wheelchair and para categories, handcycle entrants in the half marathon, pacers, children, and virtual participants. All finishers get a custom medal. The post-race area provides food, live music, awards, and a family-friendly gathering. The race is also a component of the Lone Star Race Series, offering incentives for participants completing multiple events.

The Kids K receives sponsorship from Whataburger. The event also includes a book character costume contest, vendor booths, music, and food, emphasizing literacy and community alongside the running.
