What are the distance options and when do they start?

You have four choices: a 1 Mile Fun Run, 5K, 10K, and the 13.1-mile Half Marathon. Because this is a wave-based event to keep the groups manageable, starts begin at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM CDT. If you are looking for the best experience, the Half Marathon is the standout here—it turns a standard training session into a meaningful event without the stress of a traditional race.

Is it going to be a sweatfest on race morning?

Yes. It is June in Texas. Even with a 7:30 AM start, the humidity will be high and the temperature will climb rapidly. This is not the day to test a new hydration strategy or wear heavy gear. Stick to lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics and take hydration seriously. Since this is a river trail run, you'll be dealing with Texas summer air—prepare to be damp from the moment you cross the start line.

What can I expect from the course itself?

The route follows the Trinity River Trail, which is a paved, multi-use path. It is mostly flat with some gentle rolling sections, making it perfect for a relaxed effort or a steady base-building run. You won't find a public GPX map in advance because the specific route is emailed to participants, but expect a scenic, green corridor away from heavy city traffic.

What do I actually get for my registration fee?

The pricing is quite fair: $45 for the 5K, $50 for the 10K, and $60 for the Half Marathon. If you want to save a few bucks, there is an "Eco option" for $30 that skips the shirt. All paid distances include a running shirt (shipped to US addresses only), a finisher medal, a towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack. If you are looking for official chip timing to chase a PR, look elsewhere; you'll need to track your own progress via Strava or a GPS watch.

How do I get to the start line and where should I stay?

You’ll likely fly into Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW), which is a major hub and very easy to access. Once in Fort Worth, look for accommodations near the Trinity River area or the 76107 ZIP code to minimize travel time. Since this is a small-group event, don't expect a massive expo or a central "race village"—plan to arrive, find your wave, and get moving.
