SARR Great Greenway Marathon Relay

Event Overview

Get ready for 2027! After a 3rd straight sell-out, we expect even more teams this year. Last year's revised course turned out to be so popular we going to do it again. Still 26.2 miles, still a little hilly, still a whole lot of fun!

In celebration of the great Howard Peak Greenway System, you and your team can cover 26.2 miles of this beautiful, scenic, shaded course that explores the many parks along the Salado creek at the edge of the Texas Hill Country in San Antonio. You can have a minimum of 2 and up to 5 runners per team and there are several categories for you to compete against other teams. This is a point-to-point course and each leg of the marathon relay explores a different section of the Greenway trail.

The race starts at the Rim Trailhead off Vance Jackson Road and ends at the McAllister Dog park trailhead where a celebration and medals will be waiting for your team. Complete map and instructions can be found under the Runner Race Guide menu tab.
