* Half Marathon Awards Ceremony 9:30 AM

To stay within our facility permit and keep the race day schedule moving, the ceremony will begin while some of our later finishers are still on the course. If you earn an award afterward, it will be available for pickup and you may still take a photo on the podium.

** Official Race Cutoff 10:30 AM

Our road use permit with the City of Sugar Land ends at 10:30 AM. Runners still on the road may accept a ride from a race vehicle, when available, or continue unofficially off the road on sidewalks or grass.

After 10:30 AM, the course is closed, law enforcement support ends and anyone continuing is responsible for their own safety. We will remain onsite until 11:30 AM and expect to have medals, food and drinks available when you return.

We value every runner and want you to reach your goal. Keeping the long published cutoff allows us to meet our permit requirements and return each year. Thank you for understanding.
