Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Denton TX

Salute to Veterans 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Denton TX is held in Denton, Texas, on November 1, 2026. All three distances — the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K and the 5K — start together at 8 a.m., so everyone shares one start line and you simply choose how far you want to go that morning.

As a road race in early November, it slots in neatly as a season-closing effort or as a tune-up before a winter marathon. Racing the half? Twelve weeks with a weekly long run out to 11 miles plus one tempo session a week is enough for most runners. For the 10K, shorter intervals matter more than mileage. Beginners often use a 5K like this as a first timed race, and the common start time makes it easy for a group with mixed goals to travel and warm up together.
