Holiday 5K & 13.1M at Tyler, TX

The Holiday 5K & 13.1M in Tyler, TX, is a late-December road race. It begins at 8:00 AM from 455 Shiloh Road. Participants can select either a 5K or a half marathon. Both races follow repeat out-and-back routes instead of a single point-to-point course. As part of the US Road Running series, finishers will also accumulate series points. The 5K course is completed twice by runners, while the half marathon repeats its longer out-and-back course six times. This configuration results in a compact race with frequent passages over familiar terrain, aiding in pacing and for spectators near the start. The event has a 3 hour 30 minute time limit and offers finisher medals. A best costume award contributes to the race's holiday atmosphere. Registration is exclusively through RunSignup prior to race morning, as no on-site registration is available.
