Official date status
CS Marathon is listed for December 13, 2026. This date refers to the race represented in this guide; other distances and expo activities may run on different days.
Official date information checked on 2026-10-18. This check covers the date status, not entry availability or final race operations.
December race, Saturday expo and Wolf Pen Creek Park
The expo is at the Visit College Station building, separate from the race start. The organizer requires collection during the Saturday expo window and states that packets are neither mailed nor available on race morning. Another person may collect yours with a screenshot of your photo ID. Arrange that explicitly rather than assuming a late pickup exception.
The current course description places the start on the park’s north side near Post Oak Mall parking and the finish on the south side at the amphitheatre entrance. Save both meeting points. A supporter waiting at the start arch may be in the wrong place when you finish, even though the two areas share the same park name.
Use the full-marathon map when planning pacing and support. The half marathon and relay have their own route and exchange instructions, and a campus landmark appearing in a promotional photo does not tell you where you will encounter it. Recheck the final map and official access notices before choosing a spectator crossing or arranging a pickup.
December 2026 is the next confirmed edition reviewed here; an assumed December 2027 recurrence would not establish another date. Choose a plan based on the actual preparation time and your recent training. If you cannot reach the required workload with adequate recovery, consider a later confirmed race instead of compressing an entire marathon programme into the remaining weeks.
