The McAllen Marathon 2026 Scott Crane Run returns on January 17, 2026 in McAllen, Texas, celebrating community, fitness, and endurance with a full day of races that draw runners and spectators from across the Rio Grande Valley, the United States, and Mexico.
As a Boston Marathon qualifying event, the McAllen Marathon offers a variety of distances to welcome runners of all abilities — from beginners looking to complete their first race to seasoned athletes chasing personal bests. Participants can choose from the 26.2-mile full marathon, 13.1-mile half marathon, a 6-person relay, the 10K, the 5K, and a Kids Final Mile event.
Held on a flat, fast, USATF-certified course, this race weekend is known for energetic local support, fun race weekend experiences, and the chance to enjoy scenic routes through McAllen neighborhoods. The series also includes community runs earlier in the year such as the MXLAN Neon Nights 5K, Independence 4K, Fright Nite 5K, and Turkey Trot 5K/10K, with runners who complete all series events earning a special medal.
Runners and spectators alike look forward to this signature event that champions health, fitness, and an active lifestyle in the heart of South Texas. Registration is open now for all distances, and runners are encouraged to secure their spots early for this highly anticipated January event.
