Plan the visit
Anchor the trip on Sunday, February 14
The organizer publishes the 2027 marathon, half marathon and 5K for Sunday, February 14, with the main marathon and half-marathon waves beginning at 7 a.m. The Friday and Saturday programming is packet pickup and race-weekend preparation rather than additional race days.
Plan downtown access before race morning
The course moves through central Austin and the organizer publishes traffic, staging and start-wave guidance. Recheck the race-weekend transportation information before driving into downtown because normal Sunday access patterns do not apply.
Use the full weekend schedule
Packet pickup is scheduled Friday and Saturday, with a Friday shakeout run and the races on Sunday. Runners should build travel around the official pickup window instead of arriving on race morning without materials.
