& Fun Run
Fort Worth,
TX

Event
Details
Designed as a fundraiser for both the local chapter and the national
organization of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in
Training endurance sports training program, Fort Worth's Honored Hero
Run featured four race distances for its fall 2009 running,
including a half marathon, 20-mile run, 5K and a one-kilometer fun run.
The half marathon, like the event's other races, is limited to 250
entrants and features an out-and-back course that starts and finishes
at the Trinity Park Shelter House on West 7th Street. From there, the
course takes runners on a meandering route along the Trinity Trail, a
paved 30-mile trail that follows a north-south route along the canal
between the intersection of Samuels & Northside Drive and
Foster Park, which lies just north of Interstate 20.
Known as a popular trail for locals to take in biking, running,
walking, jogging and roller blading, the trail's paved paths offer a
flat, fast surface for the race with little to no uphill or downhill
stretches. Off in the distance, runners will be able to see the Fort
Worth skyline, and will pass through tree-lined local parks and
greenspace areas as they make their way out and back to Trinity Park
for
the finish.
Race
Weather & Climate
Located just west of Dallas, the city of Fort Worth typically
experiences much milder weather conditions in the fall than in its
often very hot summer seasons, as the city's average monthly
temperatures in October range between 79°F and 55°F.
The race also takes place in what is typically the city's
second-wettest month of the year, as October rainfall amounts average
just over 4.1 inches for the month.
Fees
2009 fees:
$40 for the half marathon, if registered by August 1, 2009
$45 after Aug. 1
$50 on the day of the race
