Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Tyler Rose Half Marathon & 5-Mile

The Tyler Rose Half Marathon & 5-Mile begins at the Rose Center in Tyler, Texas. This Piney Woods city is known as the rose capital of the nation. The race is scheduled to coincide with the annual Texas Rose Festival, placing runners in the city during the period when its identity is closely tied to its flower industry. Previously named the Tyler Half & 5K, the current name emphasizes the rose connection. The half marathon route proceeds east on Houston Street, turns south onto Englewood Avenue, and then returns to Erwin Street. It continues nearly a mile east toward Vine Avenue. From there, participants run south along Vine, Augusta, and Robertson. The course features rolling hills in the initial section, followed by steeper ascents later, particularly between miles 6 and 8 on Sunnybrook Drive, Vine, Alamo Drive, and back to Robertson. The race weekend also aligns with the Rose Festival’s parade, rose show, and tours of local rose fields and farms.

The Next Loop Endurance Series- Tyler, TX Nov

The Next Loop Endurance Series in Tyler, Texas, is a November trail race at Tyler State Park centered on a single, repeated 3.1-mile dirt singletrack loop. Participants begin together, completing one 5K-style lap at a time, continuing until they reach their chosen distance, opt to stop, or reach the event's limit. The Tyler event also features 40-mile and 50-mile distances, each with a 12-hour time limit, allowing the race to serve as an initial trail test, a supported long run, or a complete ultramarathon endeavor. The loop crosses the pine forests of East Texas, featuring winding paths, tall pines, undulating terrain, consistent ascents, smooth runnable sections, shaded areas, and intermittent lake vistas. A central start-finish point functions as the aid station each lap, providing runners consistent access to hydration, nutrition, crew assistance, race personnel, and personal staging spots. The repetitive loop design eliminates navigation concerns, shifting the focus to pacing, fueling, and determining if another lap is feasible. Each completed lap is recorded, and the format is designed for runners of varying experience, from novices to ultra athletes honing their patience over numerous circuits.

The Next Loop Endurance Series - Tyler State Park

At Tyler State Park, run a 3.1-mile trail loop. Start a new loop every hour. After each loop, decide whether to run another or stop. No penalties or DNFs. Test your consistency, pacing, and endurance. Every completed loop counts.

About Half Marathon races in Longview

Longview Training Notes

Longview hosts 11 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep running simple in Longview, with 5K legs, 10K efforts, and half marathon routes that fit base miles or sharper intervals. The route covers 26 km and gains 118 m, so it gives more bite than the flatter Hallsville New Year 5k 2013. East Texas Triathletes gives the multisport crowd a natural home. 1M, Medal Madness, Ninja, Strong Shall Stand 5K, and Pilar McLemore Butterfly Run give the calendar enough anchor races to stay honest.

Riders point the front wheel out of Longview and let the backroads do the work. The Beast Of The Backroads gives the town its real anchor event, with 100 mile, 65 mile, and 25 mile bike options. The 100M bike loop goes from Longview to Hallsville to Harelton to Marshall to Longview and stacks 7000ft of elevation gain, so the climbs live out there on that loop. East Texas Triathletes keeps riders connected when tri season, gran fondo goals, or long Z2 rides start overlapping. A 1 mi ride mapped near Longview gains 106 m, which fits a short punchy day.

March treats Longview well, and the average weather sits between 57 and 69 degrees for clean training days. Locals use that window for steady run volume, longer bike routes, and race-specific work before the summer heat takes over. Summer sessions need earlier starts, more fluids, and smarter Z2 pacing, especially when the ride or run stretches past town. Winter keeps both sports rolling, but locals usually trade peak-speed work for base miles, half marathon rhythm, and backroad endurance before the next Beast build starts.
