The Statesman Capitol 10,000 is Texas’ largest 10K and the sixth largest in the nation, with over 25,000 registrants in 2020. The race starts at the Ann Richards Bridge, which crosses over Lady Bird Lake (part of the Colorado River) and runs up to and by the Texas State Capitol Building. Bands playing live music line the race course, energizing the runners with upbeat entertainment as they wind their way along this scenic and at times, hilly, race route finishing back at Vic Mathias Shores on Lady Bird Lake.
