Texas > Carrabba's Classic Half Marathon, Relay & Nature Walk
San Antonio, TX

Event Details

Promoted primarily as a half marathon relay event that also includes a 13.1-mile race for individual runners rather than the other way around, as is the case with most other running events, the Carrabba's Classic Half Marathon Relay, Individual Run & Nature Walk takes place at a time of the year when it's wise to consider splitting up the miles with three of your best friends -- as summer is turning hot and the weather is beginning to bring some of the city's peak temperatures of the year.

The race takes place in McAllister Park, whose 856 acres are home to more than 25 miles of biking, hiking, walking and running trails, and are part of what makes McAllister perhaps the city's most popular urban park. The course takes runners on an out-and-back loop along the trails entirely within the park itself, some of which are paved and others natural surface trails, and feature a mix of hills, flat stretches and some runs through wooded areas as well as wide-open spaces.

To take advantage of what are likely to be the day's coolest conditions, runners will start the half-marathon at 8:00 AM, followed by an 8:30 AM start for those taking part in the event's nature walk, which will feature a tour of the wildlife and scenery along the McAllister Park trails that's expected to last roughly 40 minutes. Organized by the San Antonio Road Runners, the event will also feature lunch following the race, prepared by Carrabba's Italian Grill, for the first 1,000 entrants.


Race Weather & Climate

There's no avoiding the fact that in June, San Antonio can see some seriously hot conditions, though rainfall is also near its peak for the year during the month (May brings the highest average rainfall). In June, the city's average monthly temperatures range between 91°F and 72°F, while rainfall totals average about 4.3 inches for the month.
