Mardi Gras Madness - Dallas

Mardi Gras Madness - Dallas is run in Dallas, Texas, on February 21, 2027. The kids dash goes at 8:55 a.m. and the 1-mile, 5K and 10K follow at 9:00, all on the road. Holding everything on one start line keeps the morning short and lets groups run different distances without splitting up.

If you are picking a distance, think about what comes after February rather than what feels impressive now. The 10K is the useful one for anyone with spring goals, long enough to test endurance without requiring recovery days afterward. The 5K rewards runners who have been training through the winter with a chance to run genuinely hard, and the mile is short enough that children and first-timers can race it properly.
