Metroplex Mile

Metroplex Mile is a one-mile road race held in Colleyville, Texas, on November 14, 2026, with a 6:00 PM start. The single format is the mile itself, an unusual and appealing distance that rewards speed over endurance and takes most runners well under ten minutes to complete. The evening start is a change from the typical dawn race schedule.

The mile suits a wide field: track runners wanting a road time, 5K specialists looking to sharpen, and beginners curious to see how fast they can go over a short distance. Preparation is short but specific: four to six weeks of intervals such as 200- and 400-meter repeats at goal pace, with easy running in between. On race evening, warm up thoroughly with 15 minutes of jogging, drills, and strides; a mile starts fast and there is no time to ease in. Pace the first quarter with discipline to avoid fading in the third.
