Houston Marathon Shuttle (Race Weekend 2027)
Runners coming to Houston for the 55th annual Chevron Houston Marathon and the 26th annual Aramco Houston Half Marathon on Sunday, January 17, 2027, can book Texas Shuttle, a fixed-fare, 24/7 door-to-door airport shuttle covering every trip of race weekend. All races start and finish downtown at the start line at Congress and Fannin, and the weekend also includes the We Are Houston 5K on Saturday, January 16, plus the Houston Marathon Health and Fitness EXPO at the George R. Brown Convention Center on Friday and Saturday, January 15-16. One booking covers each leg: home or hotel to packet pick-up, to the start line, and back after the finish. Houston shuttle page
How is Your Service Different?
- Any Address - We pick up and drop off at your home, business, hotel or any airport.
- Better - most rides are non-stop and no sharing in a Nice Car, SUV or Shuttle.
- Flexible - we pick you up on your schedule 24/7. It's also always free to change the date or time if your flight changes.
- Safer - we don't leave you at a bus stop, and all our drivers go through nationwide fingerprint background checks.
- Faster - most rides take half the time, because it's just you in the vehicle. No need to stop and wait everywhere.
- Convenient - Door to Door means no need to arrange or pay for a Taxi or Lyft to get home.
- Affordable - once you add it all up, it's the same price or less than other shared ride shuttles for two or more people, or less than Uber with just one person.
Event transportation to the Houston Marathon
Marathon morning is the tightest part of the weekend to plan. The wheelchair and handcycle division starts at 6:35 a.m. and the elite fields and open field start at 6:55 a.m., which puts most runners at the start line at Congress and Fannin well before sunrise. Road closures in the downtown start area make personal drop-offs and parking difficult on race morning, so a ride arranged in advance is the dependable way in. A door-to-door shuttle picks you up at your address, drops you as close to the start area as closures allow, and returns on a schedule you set for the trip home. Hobby Airport shuttle page
Race weekend, January 15-17, 2027
Three days of events, each with its own venue and schedule:
- Friday, January 15, 2027: The Houston Marathon Health and Fitness EXPO opens at the George R. Brown Convention Center, with packet pick-up for runners.
- Saturday, January 16, 2027: The EXPO runs its second and final day, and the We Are Houston 5K is run.
- Sunday, January 17, 2027: The 55th annual Chevron Houston Marathon and the 26th annual Aramco Houston Half Marathon start and finish in downtown Houston at Congress and Fannin, with the wheelchair and handcycle start at 6:35 a.m. and the elite and open fields at 6:55 a.m.
Shuttles serve the George R. Brown Convention Center on either EXPO day and the 5K on Saturday under the same fixed-fare, door-to-door terms as race morning. Daikin Park shuttle page
How the door-to-door shuttle works
Book a pickup with your address and a time, and the driver arrives at your door, handles gear bags, and drives straight to the destination with no intermediate stops. Because service runs 24/7, pre-dawn departures for the 6:35 a.m. wheelchair and handcycle start and the 6:55 a.m. elite and open start are standard bookings. Set your return pickup point and time near the finish at Congress and Fannin when you reserve, and call ahead if the race runs long. Airport transfers follow the same pattern: pickup at a terminal or hotel on the days before the race, and a direct ride back after you finish. NRG Stadium shuttle page
Coverage and booking
Texas Shuttle provides fixed-fare, 24/7 door-to-door car and shuttle service across the Houston area, so you can reach the George R. Brown Convention Center for the expo, downtown for the Saturday 5K, and the start line at Congress and Fannin on race morning. Every ride is by reservation, so book ahead for each leg of your weekend.
A few booking notes:
- Flat whole-vehicle quotes: one fixed fare for the entire vehicle, with no surge pricing at any hour.
- Airport pickups: your driver meets you 30 minutes after a domestic landing and 45 minutes after an international one, any time of day.
- Early starts: the marathon and half marathon wheelchair and handcycle division begins at 6:35 a.m. and the elite and open fields at 6:55 a.m. on Sunday, January 17, 2027, so plan a pre-dawn pickup; drivers arrive 5-10 minutes early.
- Round trips: booking your rides to and from the event together saves 10 percent with promo code ONLINE.
- Free changes: adjust your date or time at no charge if your plans shift.
Road closures in the downtown start area make personal drop-offs and parking difficult on race morning, so a door-to-door shuttle sets your group down near the start without circling for a space.
