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 over $25,000 for student scholarships. The Bearathon has been voted “Best Running Event” by readers of the Wacoan for the fourth straight year!
