Race Information

Welcome to the 30th annual SARR Endurathon! This event has been held by the San Antonio Road Runners since 1980 and is always a popular, challenging event! The distances have varied from 25k to half marathon, and we returned to the 25k and 2-person relay in 2006. The course for 2009 will be the same as the last three years, which received great runner feedback.

The race start is at 8:30 am. Walkers are invited to start at 7:30 am.

Registration

You may register via mail, online, or at any area running store. The cost is $20 for individuals, $18 for military and SARR members, and $40 for the relay. Late fees kick in after Jan. 10th, 2009 ($25 individual, $45 relay).
