The Hottest Half and 10k:
What's the deal? A half marathon and 10k in August in Texas? We know everybody does their most serious training in the summer months. This is an event to test your training level, do a great long tempo run or prepare for that fall marathon or half marathon! You earn bragging rights for having run The Hottest Half!

Runner's World comes to the Hottest Half:
John Hanc, a contributing editor from Runner's World magazine will be competing in the race this year, to experience the Hottest Half and gather tips from you on hot weather running, for an upcoming article in the magazine. He will be wearing Bib #108 which is the record high temperature for August 15 in Dallas. He will be bringing all the latest technology to help work with warm weather running. He's from New York folks so make sure you give him a "warm" welcome!

Parking:
There is limited parking at Norbuck Park. We will have a large satellite parking area at Flagpole Hill across Northwest Highway race day.To view a parking map Click Here

Ipods & Headphones:
Because the Hottest Half is run mostly on a closed course there are no restrictions on the use of such devices.

Frequently asked questions

ChronoTrack Timing:
The Hottest Half & 10k will use the ChronoTrack timing system, which records your time precisely from start to finish. Chronotrack is the latest timing technology. Your timing tag is now disposable and will come with your bib number when you get your race packet. No more lining up to get your timing chip race morning, and no waiting to have your timing chip retrieved at the finish line! Awards will be based on gun time.
