The Ascension Seton Austin Marathon Appreciation Program 

The Ascension Seton Austin Marathon Appreciation Program is a rotating initiative that recognizes different groups each year who make a meaningful impact in our communities. Through this program, we extend special race entry pricing as a way of saying thank you. We are grateful for the opportunity this program gives us to show appreciation, and in past years we’ve honored teachers, nurses, service industry professionals, and nonprofit workers.

In 2027, we are proud to recognize and celebrate U.S. military service members.

To say thank you, we’re offering 50% off race entry to eligible active-duty and retired military members for the Full Marathon, Half Marathon, or 5K.

Who’s Eligible
