Are you tough enough for a real challenge? That’s what the organizers of the Badass Texas Half — formerly known as the Badass Brazos Half Marathon — ask on their website, with a brief mention that yes, it will probably be hot, as one would expect during May in Texas.
Nestled halfway between Fort Worth and Austin, Waco’s Badass Brazos Half Marathon begins at the Waco Convention Center and heads north along University Park Drive, providing views of the Brazos River until entering Cameron Park during the second mile.
From there, the course weaves its way into Cameron Park while introducing the major uphill and downhill segments of the course and passing park landmarks such as Circle Point and Lover’s Leap.
