The Gusher Marathon is an annual spring marathon held in Beaumont, Texas.[1] It was founded in 2010 by the local nonprofit organization Sports Society for American Health and sponsored by Exygon Gym and Baptist Hospitals.[2] The Gusher in Gusher Marathon refers to the 1901 discovery of oil at the spindletop salt dome in Beaumont.[3] The course is a flat, fast USATF Sanctioned and Certified, Boston Qualifier. The course begins at the Montagne Center of Lamar University and tours much of Downtown Beaumont before returning to Lamar University.[4] The Gusher also offers 5K and half marathon distances in addition to the full marathon.
