Heroes' Day 5K, 10K & Half Marathon

Heroes' Day 5K, 10K & Half Marathon takes place in McLendon-Chisholm, Texas, on November 7, 2026, with three distances: a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon (13.1 miles). The course runs through public parks and along lakeside stretches typical of this part of Texas. McLendon-Chisholm sits next to Rockwall and Lake Ray Hubbard, on the eastern edge of the Dallas–Fort Worth area, which makes it an easy morning out for runners based in the metroplex.

Three distances on one start list mean you can pick the race that matches where your training actually is rather than where you hoped it would be. The 5K is a fair first race, the 10K suits anyone running three or four times a week, and the half is the one worth a proper build: about ten weeks, a long run growing to 12 miles, and one steady or tempo session each week. Run the parkland sections by effort rather than by watch.
