About the CourseBest of Austin The LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon and Half Marathon courses are USATF certified loops that run through some of Austin's most scenic and historic areas, including Lady Bird Johnson Lake, the Allandale and Hyde Park neighborhoods, Congress Avenue, the University of Texas campus and the State Capitol complex. The gently rolling and shaded course is 90% asphalt with long straightaways and approximately 28 turns. The marathon course gains approximately 14 feet per mile over the first 17 miles before dropping over 33 feet per mile over the final 9 miles to the finish on Congress Avenue in the shadow of the State Capitol building. With nearly 40 Austin bands to keep you motivated, 26 water & aid stations, and Seton Health Care Systems medical teams to keep you moving, the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon race courses are some of the best supported routes in America.
