What distances can I choose from?

You have plenty of options depending on your fitness and goals. The event offers a 1 Mile fun run, 5K, 10K, and a 13.1-mile Half Marathon. Because the start is wave-based (7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM), I recommend aiming for the earliest wave if you are doing the Half Marathon to beat the inevitable Texas heat.

What should I expect from the terrain?

The course runs along the Trinity River Trail, which is a paved, multi-use system. Expect smooth asphalt and concrete with very little elevation change. It is an ideal setup for a steady pace or a first-time distance attempt, but keep in mind this is not a fully closed-road course. You will be sharing the path with other trail users, so it feels more like a supported group run than a professional road race.

Will I be fighting the Texas heat?

Yes. June in Fort Worth is unapologetically hot. While the early start times help, the humidity and rising temperatures can turn a scenic river run into a grit test very quickly. Wear moisture-wicking gear, don't skimp on hydration, and prepare for a heavy, warm atmosphere.

What do I get for my registration?

The focus here is on the community aspect and the "swag." You'll receive a running shirt (shipped to you in the US) and a finisher medal along with a towel or other giveaway. Since there is no formal chip timing, you'll be responsible for tracking your own results via Strava or a GPS watch to get your digital certificate.

How do I get to the start line?

You'll likely fly into Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW), which is a major global hub and a relatively easy drive to the Fort Worth area. For accommodation, look for hotels near the Trinity River area or in central Fort Worth to minimize travel time on race morning.

Is this a competitive event?

Not in the traditional sense. There is no chip timing, which is a dealbreaker for serious racers looking for official rankings. This is a "run or walk" event designed for awareness and community support. If you need a formal race environment to push your limits, this isn't it. If you want to run for a purpose in a relaxed setting, it’s perfect.
