Houston
Top 25 Race Destination
"If you're chasing a PR, Houston running races are built for speed. The terrain is famously flat, the course is smooth, and winter race conditions are ideal. Houston Running Company has a fun series of races throughout the year to keep you running. The Houston Marathon is one of the fastest marathon courses in the U.S., making it a top destination for competitive runners and Boston qualifiers."
