SAN ANTONIO – Thousands of runners, joggers and walkers from across the country took to the streets of downtown San Antonio for the 2022 Certified Piedmontese Beef Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series.
The marathon and half-marathon started around 7 a.m. Sunday near City Hall.
Unlike past years, the start and finish lines for both races were not located near Hemisfair. Instead, they started at City Hall and headed up north to Broadway and Brackenridge Park.
At mile five, both races then went to Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston and weaved through the base for three miles. The races came to an end in front of the UTSA downtown campus.
The time limits for the half and full marathons are four and seven hours, respectively.
All of the runners did a phenomenal job in both of the races. Here are the overall winners of the marathon and half-marathon races this year.
