BCS Oktoberfest Half Marathon & 10K

The BCS Oktoberfest Half Marathon & 10K takes place at Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Both the half marathon and 10K races conclude inside the football stadium. Participants can select either the half marathon or the 10K. The event embraces its Aggieland location, integrating the local setting rather than using the stadium merely as a backdrop. Highpoint Apparel presents the race, which benefits Mercy Project, adding a charitable cause to the appeal of finishing at Kyle Field. The USATF-certified course is designed for consistent pacing, featuring a mostly flat profile with a few mild rolling sections and a downhill approach to the finish. The route guides participants through College Station neighborhoods, the Texas A&M campus, and local parks before culminating in the stadium. Organizers state it is “organized by runners, for runners.” Post-race feedback indicates high satisfaction, with 99% of participants rating the organization as good or excellent and 96% expressing similar views on value.
