Plan the visit
Choose the correct race day
The organizer places the 10K, adult 5K and Kids 5K on Saturday, February 27, while the half marathon, full marathon and ultra run Sunday, February 28. Texas Defined keeps those as separate occurrence windows rather than presenting the weekend as continuous racing.
Start and finish at Will Rogers
The organizer identifies Will Rogers Memorial Center on West Lancaster Avenue as the start area for the in-person races. Review the current parking, road-closure and spectator guidance before race weekend.
Account for expo and pickup time
Registration and packet-pickup activity occurs before the races, including Friday and Saturday expo access when available. Participants should verify their distance-specific pickup requirements before arriving.
