Race Day is Saturday, March 25, 2023
4.00 to 7.00 pm
packet pickup - Fri
If you live locally or decide to come in early and enjoy all that Brenham has to offer, you have until 7pm to get to the high school at 525 A H Ehrig Dr, Brenham TX and incorporate packet pickup into your Friday evening.
6.00 to 9.00 am
packet pickup - Sat
We're here bright and early for those who aren't able to pick up packets on Friday.
7.30 am
START Half Marathon
Most participants do not run in our marathon to win. More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their gender and age. And of course, the Blue Bell at the finish line.
8.00 am
START Kids' Mile
Our Kid's Mile has been a favorite for decades. There is no doubt that these kids are running for the ice cream!
8.30 am
START 10K
Be prepared for some hills on our 10K as well as some beautiful views of wildflowers. Because our number of participants is high, we start the race in heats.
9.30 am
START 5K
Our 5K is our most popular event. You can run or run/walk this course as you take in the beautiful countryside. Because our number of participants is high, we start the race in heats.
post-race
awards
Awards may be picked up by runners at the Awards Table after they cross the Finish Line and results are final!
And don't forget the Blue Bell Ice Cream available to all participants and those who came to cheer them on!
