Expect more than 200,000 spectators. The Houston Press/Metro 5K and the Aramco Services Half Marathon also take place at the same time.

The Sounds of Texas Music Series
This one here actually lasts from January to June. It’s held in Conroe, which is about 45 minutes north of Houston (just head towards Dallas until you run into a bunch of trees). Lots of quality, quality music acts.
