The Day of the Dead Half Marathon - Austin begins at 8 a.m. from Tanger Outlets in Austin, Texas. The primary event is a 13.1-mile half marathon, with shorter options available: a 5K, a quarter marathon, a 1-mile run, a Kids Dash, a virtual run, and a Volunteer then Run option. The Texas Parks Edition guides runners through parkland featuring lakes, trees, and shaded natural paths, differing from a downtown-only route. Bigfoot Running Company is the organizer. The Day of the Dead theme provides the race with a distinct focus: a run connected to life, memory, and remembrance. Aid stations will be on the course for hydration, and the variety of distances allows families, beginners, and half marathoners to participate together on the same race day.

The Bagel Run in Austin/Round Rock, Texas, offers 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances, along with a Family 1 Mile Fun Run. A virtual run and a no-shirt Eco-Registration for the three main distances are also available. The in-person race employs capped waves; entries may close as each wave fills, with a waitlist or virtual option for those who miss a spot. The run begins at Richard Moya Park. The course map is provided to participants instead of being published beforehand. Runners and walkers of all paces are welcome, and participants under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian. Timing is optional, allowing individuals to use an app to track their run and submit the result later. Best Races organizes this as a private group run, extending invitations to local run clubs and offering bagels post-race.

Spooky Sprint-Austin is a Halloween-themed running event in Austin, held in October. It offers a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 1 mile, kids dash, virtual race, and a volunteer-then-run entry. The event is designed for families and casual groups alongside competitive runners: the 5K, 10K, and half marathon are chip-timed with live results and awards, while the 1 mile and kids dash are untimed. The event provides finishers with race swag, including custom bibs, designer shirts, and medals for the main distances. The kids dash includes a mini bib, youth shirt, and a child-specific medal. Children 10 and under can participate in the kids dash for free if they forgo the swag. The 5K and 10K also have reduced pricing for participants 12 and under. Finish-line treats, free participant photos, and a virtual option contribute to the race's playful atmosphere, even for timed runners who receive results and awards.

Fields of Gold Trail Run takes place in the fall at Shaffer Bend Recreation Area in Marble Falls, Texas, within the Texas Hill Country. The series offers runners a wide selection of distances: 50K, marathon, half marathon, a 12-hour endurance challenge, a 1-hour Gold Hour challenge, 10K, and 5K. The course is designed with dirt and park terrain, featuring rolling hills, meadow trails, lakeside paths, golden grasslands, wooded valleys, and overlooks across the bend area. The longer races cover the most varied terrain. The half marathon is presented as challenging yet accessible for runners not aiming for an ultra distance. The 12-hour event focuses on total miles accumulated rather than a set finish time, with aid stations and support available throughout the day. The 1-hour race applies the same endurance concept in a condensed format. The 5K Harvest Fun Run serves as the family-friendly option, winding through the meadows. The event also supports HKRS Cedar Park Youth Running Programs, connecting race day activities with local youth running initiatives.

Wizard Run Austin is a costume-friendly 5K and 1 mile fun run in Austin, timed for the Halloween season. Participants are encouraged to wear wizard and witch robes, carry the theme into the race itself, and choose either a single distance or the Chosen One Challenge, which involves running both the 5K and the 1 mile event. The event embraces its magic theme before the running begins. A Grand Sorcerer teaches the crowd new spells, fog covers the start gate, music plays, sparks and colored effects are displayed, and a loud horn signals the witches and wizards onto a themed route through town with staged sights and sounds along the way.

Salut les amis, j'ai vu passer un truc sympa : la Halloween Trick or Trot ! C'est une course sur le thème d'Halloween à Richard Moya Park, à Austin. Tu as le choix entre 5K, 10K, un half-marathon, une option virtuelle ou même un 1-mile pour les familles. Les départs se font par vagues le matin, et chaque vague est limitée en nombre pour que l'ambiance soit plus cool et moins la foule. Que tu sois coureur ou marcheur, peu importe ton rythme, tu es le bienvenu. Les enfants peuvent venir aussi, mais il faut qu'un adulte les accompagne. Les infos détaillées sur le parcours sont envoyées par mail aux inscrits. Pas de stress pour le dossard, tu le récupères directement le jour de la course, ça évite le retrait habituel en amont. Pour le chrono, c'est comme tu veux : tu peux utiliser une appli, demander un coup de main aux coordinateurs ou ne pas te faire chronométrer du tout. Côté Halloween, il y a des bonbons après l'arrivée, des médailles de finisher, des t-shirts (envoyés aux adresses U.S.), une serviette ou un petit cadeau, les résultats en ligne et un diplôme de participation. L'organisateur propose aussi des invitations pour des clubs de course du coin, une option virtuelle si jamais les vagues sont complètes, et un truc sympa : les kilomètres que tu feras après la course peuvent être comptabilisés pour des dons caritatifs.

La Justice Run Austin, c'est une épreuve qui a son QG au Travis County Exposition Center, sur Decker Lane à Austin, Texas. Au menu, il y a un marathon, un half marathon, un 10K et un 5K. C'est prévu en novembre, mais attention, la date et le site sont encore à confirmer, ça dépend des autorisations. Le marathon, c'est quand même un autre niveau que les courses plus courtes : tu as une barrière horaire stricte de cinq heures à cause des contraintes de circulation. D'ailleurs, si tu penses mettre plus de quatre heures et demie, ils te conseillent carrément de faire le half marathon. Cette course a été lancée en 2021, avec un but caritatif : aider les survivants de la traite des êtres humains. L'argent récolté est reversé à The Justice Residences, des foyers de réinsertion à long terme prévus pour accueillir jusqu'à 100 survivants à la fois, avec une prise en charge qui dure d'un à trois ans. Depuis le début, des milliers de coureurs ont participé, et le format est vraiment pensé pour un max de monde, des marathoniens aux familles qui viennent faire le 5K. Et les gamins de cinq ans et moins peuvent s'inscrire au 5K gratos, mais attention, cette inscription ne donne pas droit au sac coureur ni au t-shirt.

The Salmagundi Trail Race follows the Pedernales River at Reimers Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. It begins and ends on Hamilton Pool Road in Dripping Springs, near Austin. This November event offers distances from 5K and 10K to a half marathon, marathon, and a 50K ultra. Runners can use it for their first trail run, a quick race, or a long day on the trails. The event has a 500-participant limit and is part of the Texas Trail Championship. The course is entirely off-road, featuring wide double track, narrower single track, and jeep trail. It includes rolling climbs, not steep mountain ascents. The 5K has approximately 180 feet of elevation gain, and the half marathon has about 700 feet. The marathon course consists of the half-marathon loop run twice, while the ultra adds a 10K loop to two half-marathon loops. A Ruck Division is also available, requiring specific pack weights, pre- and post-race weigh-ins, and prohibiting trekking poles. Custom awards from Southern Forge and Mill are given to finishers. The race supports Austin Sunshine Camps, and the post-race activities include live music and local food trucks.

The Mustang Marathon is a road race series held at Mustang Stadium, located at Marble Falls High School in Marble Falls, Texas, within the Hill Country northwest of Austin. The event features a range of distances: 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, 50K, and a youth mile. This variety accommodates local families, shorter-distance runners, marathoners, and ultrarunners on the same race day. Previously known as the Hill Country Trivium, it is the sole road race organized by Perspective Pacing. The course is paved and follows an out-and-back route on country roads, with rolling hills and challenging climbs rather than a flat city loop. All distances begin and conclude at Mustang Stadium, simplifying the race hub despite the varying runner distances. Awards are determined by gun time, though chip times are also provided, offering a competitive element for runners at the start. A local tradition concludes the race: participants receive a coupon for a complimentary slice of pie from Marble Falls’ Bluebonnet Cafe.
