Set for its 9th annual running in 2023 as the fall weather is becoming milder here in this suburban community just north of Dallas, the Colony Half Marathon takes runners on an out-and-back route along the residential streets and shoreline trails of this planned city that lies along the Stewart peninsula on Lewisville Lake.
The race is set to begin in Stewart Park on Sparks Road, and unfolds along the first few miles through residential neighborhoods, where runners will be on paved roads for nearly the first five miles. After that, they head onto the Colony Shoreline Trail, which unfolds along the water’s edge of Lewisville Lake.
The crushed gravel trail for walkers, runners and cyclists features only gently rolling hills, as well as plenty of flat stretches.
