The course for the Gusher Half Marathon, like the full marathon and the 5K, starts and finishes at the Montagne Center of Lamar University, the city’s flagship state university. From there, runners follow an out-and-back route through the streets of the city, which lies just north and west of Sabine Lake and Port Arthur. The route includes long stretches in roughly the middle of the race along the city’s Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, as well as stretches through downtown Beaumont.
