The Experience

The Texas Double presents a compelling opportunity for runners seeking a fast, flat course around Dallas's Bachman Lake. This USATF-sanctioned and chip-timed event is designed for performance, with a course that promises minimal elevation changes, making it a prime candidate for personal bests. Runners can choose from multiple half and full marathon distances offered daily, catering to various goals and schedules.

The race emphasizes community and support, boasting great volunteers and aid stations that contribute to a welcoming 'running family' atmosphere. A significant portion of the proceeds benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, adding a charitable dimension to the race experience. While the course is noted as being under construction and not yet certified, its reputation for speed and the allure of earning a medal for each race completed, plus a series finisher medal, draw participants looking for a rewarding challenge.
