Texas > The Hottest Half & 10K
Dallas, TX

Event Details

Make sure you take advantage of each and every one of the planned 10 water stations scattered throughout the 13.1-mile course around Dallas's White Rock Lake Park at "The Hottest Half" Half Marathon & 10K, which saw about 1,200 runners cross the finish line at the race's summer 2009 running. The race organizers also plan to have live music at the start and when runners are crossing the finish line, to celebrate what no doubt will be a test of every runner's stamina and endurance.

The race features an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at Norbuck Park on the lake's eastern shore, this is a race that will definitely test how well runners have been training through the summer, and get them ready for the fall marathons and half-marathons they're preparing for. The course will be run entirely on paved surface trails through the park and on city streets through the adjacent neighborhoods.

Following the late registration available at Norbuck Park on the morning of the race, runners in the half and the 10K will take off from the starting line at 7:30 AM. An awards ceremony for 10K runners will follow at about 9:00 AM, followed by a ceremony for those placing in the half marathon at 10:30 AM.

Organized by Mellew Productions, a Texas-based organizer of road races and other running events, the race is also part of the Long Distance Running Series sponsored by the Southwestern Association of USA Track and Field.


Race Weather & Climate

In August, average monthly temperatures range between 96°F and 76°F, while rainfall amounts average around 2.17 inches for the month -- the city's second-driest month of the year on average.
