The Memorial Hermann USA Fit Marathon started 7 years ago with the mission of providing a race for everyone to enjoy. They accomplish this with a generous 8 hour time limit, lots of course support, and fellow enthusiastic runners. In addition to the marathon, there is a half-marathon and 5k. Runners (and walkers) of all abilities were out in full force, ranging from sub 3-hour marathoners to those walking the entire course.
Falling just 2 weeks after the Chevron Houston Marathon, the USA Fit Marathon was a nice change of pace with a much smaller entrant pool and a more local feel. Despite being a smaller event, the organizers did a fantastic job putting together a race with enthusiastic, friendly volunteers, a well-marked course and efficient organization.
