The Houston Marathon held annually in January, is an event that touts thousands of runners and spectators alike. It is the largest single-day sporting event that Houston has to offer. Not just a full marathon there is a half marathon and a 5-kilometer course alongside, which allows something for everyone.

Named separately, the Chevron Houston Marathon and the Aramco Houston Half Marathon courses are both officially certified by the Road Running Technical Council of USA Track & Field, which allows them to qualify runners for the Boston Marathon.The full marathon, half marathon, and the 5 kilometers are also sanctioned by the Gulf Association of USA Track & Field.The first marathon held in Houston was run in 1972 and only featured 113 runners with approximately 200 onlookers as spectators. Grown substantially since, the 2014 event included the 5 kilometers event the Saturday before, which had close to 5,000 runners, while the marathon and half marathon consisted of nearly 13,000 runners each. It has become such a beloved event throughout Houston that the crowds now reach close to a half of a million spectators standing by to partake in the race day.The course remains the standard for many USA Olympic qualifying trials with reason. Not your typical 26.2-miles, it is the perfect location to hold a vast amount of athletes and has the most excellent weather conditions to please just about anyone.

It&#39;s super convenient to scan the code directly for admission! As an official NASA attraction, this place completely exceeded expectations-real rockets and lunar modules are close at hand, and the experience of touching moon rocks is so shocking! The guided car project is highly recommended. Professional tour guides reveal the secrets of the astronaut training center and the mission control room, and even children are fascinated by it. The interactive area is super interesting, and the simulated space capsule operation and gravity experience make the whole family play and don&#39;t want to leave. The souvenir shop has a lot of exclusive aerospace peripherals at reasonable prices. The route design of the venue is scientific, and the essence can be visited in half a day. It is a must-visit for technology fans and parent-child tours! The barrier-free facilities are complete throughout the journey, and the staff are super enthusiastic. Such a high-value aerospace science base is definitely worth a second visit!
