Race Morning Tips and Information
Arrive early. Please allow ample time to familiarize yourself with this area, locate parking, etc. A pre-race medical station for Band-Aids and Vaseline will be located near the Bag Drop zone. Portable restroom facilities will be located near the start and finish lines.
Bag Check
Bag check facilities will be located near the finish line. Please pick up all items by 2:45pm. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity. Note: Bag check location subject to change. You will receive a set of "Final Instructions" when you pick up your packet at the Expo which will contain the final bag check location.
Line Up Early!
Runners should arrive at Fair Park at least an hour or more before race start time and line up at the starting area at least 30 minutes early. Please remember that parking fees are collected after 8:00am.
Please line up in the start area according to your expected pace – faster runners in the front, slower runners in the back to insure a safer start for everyone. Since your chip indicates your official time, there is no need to crowd the starting line. Elite runners will be positioned at the very front. Please do not enter the elite holding area at the starting line unless a race official checks you in.
Plan Ahead!
Please prearrange a meeting place with loved ones BEFORE the race starts. We will not be able to use the public address system to reunite runners with their families.
Race-Day Weather
Remember, this is Texas! One never knows about the weather. Normal for early December is about 35 degrees Fahrenheit at the start and 50 degrees Fahrenheit at 2:00 p.m.
