Registration

The 38th running of the Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Houston Half Marathon, EP5K and ABB Team Challenge will be held on January 17, 2010.

Registration for the 2010 Chevron Houston Marathon, Aramco Houston Half Marathon, EP5K and ABB Team Challenge opens on the morning of Friday, July 17, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. (CST). 

The marathon and half marathon combined cap has been raised from 18,000 to 22,000 participants. Of the 22,000 entries, 11,000 entries are now reserved for each of the marathon and half marathon fields. In addition to the cap increase, the Registration Transfer System has been eliminated and a two-year ban for unauthorized runners has been added. We believe these changes, in addition to our start waves, will alleviate crowding concerns as the safety of our runners remains our top priority.

There will be no increase in entry fees to our 2010 races. Click here for the 2010 entry fee schedule.
