The Hottest Half and 10k:
We want you to do something unique, do something very few people have ever attempted. We challenge you to run 13.1 or 6.2 miles in August in Dallas, Texas. If you live in Texas or the south and have ever trained in the summer (And who stops running?), you have already done a a training run of this length before. If you are not from Texas, we are offering you a Texas sized experience.

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. At all Mellew Production events, we try to call out everyone's name as you finish.

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

The Course: Our half marathon course will remain open for 3 1/2 hours. Course Maps

Water Stations:
We will have 6 water stations on our out and back half marathon course to insure all your hydration needs are met. This means the half runners will have 12 opportunities for water and Gatorade. All water stops on the half course will be serviced by Water Monster Inc.

Those running the 10k will see 4 four opportunities for water. They will be placed at mile 1.1, 2.4, 3.8 and 5.1 mile points.

Awards:
We will have awards for the top male and female overall, top male and female masters in both the half and 10k.We will present awards to the top three finishers both male and female in the following age groups for both the half and 10k: 19& Under, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69 and 70+. Although chip timing affords run events to produce quick fast timing results, it was never intended to be the benchmark for finish order. We feel that this is a foot race against other human beings and not against a computer system. The first one back across the finish line is the winner. If your finish placement is important to you, we suggest you line up in the front rows at the start.

All finishers of The Hottest Half will receive our Hottest Half finisher medals. We will have finisher medals for all those running the 10k also!
