By now, you would normally see a lot of signs around Houston for the Chevron Houston Marathon, which always takes place in the middle of January. Normally, you would have between 25 and 30-thousand runners going through the streets of Houston running the full 26.2 miles, or the half marathon of 13.1 miles.
Of course, Covid-19 changed things. Runners adjusted, and so did the event itself.
Despite their best efforts, the race was simply too tough to pull off live. So it will be virtual this year, and the virtual marathon is now underway.
Between now and January 17th, runners who sign up can run the We Are Houston 5K, Aramco Half Marathon, or the full 26.2 mile Chevron. Muffy King is the Marketing and Media Brand Director, and says runners have their choice. They can run one of these races before the 17th, two of them, or, if they are really adventurous, they can go even further.
