On Sunday, July 13, 2025, Bigfoot Running Company presents the Red, White & Blue Half Marathon, along with Kids Dash, 2‑Mile, 4‑Mile, and 8‑Mile events, all kicking off from Marble Falls Mustang Stadium in Marble Falls, Texas ~45 min northwest of Austin.
This patriotic-themed event has emerged as a favorite summer road race, blending community energy with polished logistics and festive flair. Each distance is chip-timed (except the kid’s dash and 2‑mile), and top finishers in the 4‑mile, 8‑mile, and half marathon earn coveted Bigfoot trophies, while all finishers collect shirts and custom Texas-themed medals.
The course offers a relatively flat, road-based loop through scenic streets around the stadium. All races begin together at 7:00 AM CDT, starting with a brief National Anthem ceremony—an ideal early-morning window to beat the summer heat. Aid stations, live entertainment from DJ Sasquatch, and on-site snacks round out the post-race experience with a festive vibe.
What makes this race stand out is its combination of patriotic energy, family-friendly design (with youth pricing $15 for kids in shorter distances), variety of distances, referral and group discounts, and strong volunteer culture—including “Volunteer Then Run” entries for free participation. With modest fields (most distances host 100–500 runners), the race retains a welcoming feel while still offering polished production value.
