Houston Marathon and Half Marathon Fees to Increase
On Tuesday, September 13, fees in both the Houston Marathon and Houston Half Marathon will increase by $10 from $70 to $80 for the Full and $50 to $60 for the Half.
(Editorial: $50 for a half marathon, in my opinion, is highway robbery! However, when they have 7,500 that are willing to pay it, it is what the market will bear -- just like the price of gas. And this is even before they announce the new title sponsor which I'm wondering in the current economic climate if there won't be a backlash.)

I agree, $50 is steep! But sadly, I paid it anyway. At least I found out via you early enough to save the extra $10...
Well, despite my statement, I may be paying it twice! I provided Waverly with a little challenge about walking the half - and she is going to go for it, I think!
(We'll add a half a mile a week starting with 3 miles this Sunday.)
If so, I'll forgo running the full again at Houston (and probably will do Austin) and walk the half with her.
Go Waverly!!
