Brazos Bend Marathon
Brazos Bend Marathon is a marathon held in Needville, United States, in December. It takes place inside Brazos Bend State Park, and the same weekend also includes a half marathon, a 100K, a 100 mile race and a free children's kilometre. Surfaces are a mix of crushed gravel, shaded hiking trail and smooth horse track. Large oak trees hung with Spanish moss line much of the way, and the paths pass lakes and bayous.
The ground is flat throughout. That makes the park a gentle setting for first-time marathoners as well as for experienced ultrarunners who use the longer distances. The park is known for its scenery, and the whole event stays within its boundaries.

Good fit if you…
