After its inaugural running a few years back through this northern suburb of Dallas in North Texas, the New Year’s Day Half Marathon expanded to feature a full, 26.2-mile marathon, two-person half marathon relay and a 5K in addition to the individual half marathon, for a race that’s now called the New Years Double Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K.

Runners will follow an out-and-back course that starts in Allen’s Celebration Park and takes runners along the paved walking, running and biking trails that both wind through the park and extend outside the park and into the neighborhoods beyond the park, roughly in parallel with the Angel Parkway.

Those running the half marathon will run the 6.55-mile course twice, while those running the full marathon will make four loops around the course. The race is open to both runners and walkers and features a 6-hour time limit for all race distances, which means that walkers especially should have plenty of time to complete the race no matter which distance they choose. The course is set to be certified by USA Track & Field, and organizers plan to have three aid stations set up out on the course — at the start/finish line area, a second station in Celebration Park, and a third station at the turnaround point near Country Brook Lane.
