New Year's Run 5K/10K/13.1 DALLAS FORT WORTH

New Year's Run 5K/10K/13.1 DALLAS FORT WORTH is run in Fort Worth, Texas, on December 26, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all go off at 7:30 a.m. Nothing is chip-timed, the field mixes runners and walkers of every level, and every entrant leaves with a gift bag containing a race shirt and a finisher medal. A virtual entry covers anyone who wants to run the distance on their own terms.

For a Metroplex runner this is a convenient way to put a long effort on the calendar in a week when structure usually disappears. The half suits anyone who has held a base since September; ten to twelve weeks with one weekly long run is what a first 13.1 asks for. Since nothing is timed, resist the urge to race it — run a pace you could hold for another three miles and the rest of your week survives intact.
