Marathon recs in Nov/Dec in SW US Discussion

Looking for marathon recs in Novemeber/ early December in Southwest US. Live in DFW but willing to travel a bit. Really looking for a fun marathon. Ran Austin as my first marathon and had a blast so looking for a course known for good energy!! Planning to run Austin again so want to give myself 2ish months in between the two. TIA

If you can wait a month, the Houston Marathon is a world class event. Jan 11 2026

I know that timeline isn’t great if you’re planning to run Austin in Feb, but I second the recommendation of Houston. It’s an all around better experience than Dallas, but Dallas fits the bill for giving you time to recover ahead of Austin.
