Run for a Cause
The San Antonio Marathon is proud to partner with Face the Fight® as our official benefitting partner.
This December, every mile can make a difference. Whether you’re running the Marathon, Half Marathon or SATX 5K, you can help support Face the Fight’s mission to prevent veteran suicide and ensure veterans and their families have access to the resources, support, and connections they deserve.
In a city with deep military roots and a strong sense of community, we’re inviting runners to go beyond the finish line and make an impact that lasts long after race day.
Run with purpose.
Run for those who served.
Run to Face the Fight.
