Student Foundation Bearathon - Waco, Texas - Running

The Student Foundation Bearathon is a Running race in Waco, Texas consisting of a Half Marathon and 5K.

The Bearathon is a challenging half marathon that has earned itself the nickname as The Toughest Half in Texas. The Bearathon serves as one of Student Foundation's largest and most effective fundraising efforts each spring to raise money for Student Foundation scholarships. The race is open to the public and attracts about 2,000 runners from across the state of Texas and across the nation resulting in thousands of dollars raised for student scholarships.

Other features of the course include a tour of campus with a run by the newly built Rosenbalm Fountain, a brief venture into Downtown Waco, through the challenging hills of Cameron Park, and will finish alongside the great Brazos River. The Sic 'Em 6K run starts and ends at the same location as the Bearathon and will take runners on a scenic tour of Baylor University's campus.
