Texas > The Hottest Half & 10K
Dallas, TX
Date
Sunday, August 15, 2010
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.

Weather & Climate

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.
