Runners follow an out-and-back loop course just south of downtown San Marcos at the Moe’s Better Half Marathon, which starts and finishes at the Tanger Outlet Center just off Interstate 35 at Highway 234. From there, they follow mostly a straightaway along Center Point for the first 5 1/2 miles of the race. As the race course continues west, runners turn north onto Francis Harris Lane, which takes them all the way back up to the Old Bastrop Highway.
