The event features the Manzano Mile on Saturday and the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5K on Sunday morning. The Austin Marathon will take place on February 17, 2019. The race will begin at 7 a.m., feature a highly-competitive elite field, and be livestreamed by FloSports so spectators and loved ones around the globe can watch. Runners from all 50 states and 34 countries typically run the annual Austin Marathon. The new Austin Marathon course, debuted in 2018, was designed to provide a better participant and spectator experience and allow enhanced traffic flow along the course, while still finishing with the picturesque Texas State Capitol as every runner’s backdrop. The first half of the Austin Marathon has remained unchanged. After Mile 12, half marathoners will head south to the finish line while marathoners continue east before turning north and running on Guadalupe St. through the heart of the University of Texas campus. The course will highlight Austin attractions like the University of Texas Tower and historic Hyde Park neighborhood, while taking marathoners on a tour of East Austin’s restaurants, murals, and landmarks. The race starts at 2nd and Congress Avenue, several blocks south of the Texas State Capitol, and touches Austin landmarks and areas, such as downtown, the Colorado River, SoCo, Hyde Park, and the University of Texas at Austin campus, passing by Memorial Stadium. It also includes performances by live bands along the race route. The race ends near where it begins on Congress Avenue, just south of the Capitol.[1] The course is USATF certified. Austin Gives Miles, the Official Charity Program of the Austin Marathon®, raised $670,802 in 2018. The 31 Central Texas nonprofit organizations accepted into the program worked tirelessly to exceed the program’s fundraising goal while increasing awareness of their organization and recruiting race day volunteers. All Blind Children of Texas, a resource for the optimal physical, mental, emotional, and social development of all blind children of Texas, was the highest fundraiser, raising $33,500. The Austin Marathon® injected $37.5 million into the Austin economy during the 2018 race weekend. The Austin Marathon was able to better calculate its economic impact by utilizing the faculty expertise at St. Edward’s University’s Bill Munday School of Business for the second year in a row. 2018's economic impact on the City of Austin is a $3.1 million (8 percent) increase from the 2017 event. It was founded in 1991 by Freescale Semiconductor, who served as title sponsor for fifteen years.[2] The marathon was sponsored by AT&T in 2007 and 2008, but ran with no title sponsor in 2009.[3] From 2010 to 2013, the race was called the LIVESTRONG Austin Marathon. Freescale returned as presenting sponsor in 2014 and 2015. NXP Semiconductors and Freescale completed their merger in December 2015,[4] with NXP becoming the presenting sponsor for 2016 and 2017.
