A Merry Christmas Run 5K/10K/13.1 DALLAS FORT WORTH 2026

The New Year New Me Run in Dallas-Fort Worth is a small-group run on the Trinity River Trail in Fort Worth, offering 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. It is scheduled for the start of the year, focusing on goal-setting and a low-pressure atmosphere rather than intense competition. Waves have participant caps and may close once full. Runners can participate in person or select a virtual option if unable to attend the Fort Worth event. Walkers are welcome, and participants under 18 require a guardian. The course utilizes the Trinity River Trail, avoiding city streets. The event's setup is intentionally straightforward: no timing chips, no pre-race packet pickup, though coordinators are available to assist anyone wishing to track their finish time. Participants can use apps like Strava, RunKeeper, or Nike Run to record their own run and submit results online for a certificate. Swag, including a running shirt, finisher medal, and a towel or giveaway, is mailed to registrants; bibs are distributed on race day. The event also directs runners to local run clubs, aligning with its emphasis on beginners, returning runners, and individuals using the new year for a fitness reset.
