Here is a list of 5K races in Dallas & Fort Worth area.
5K’s are one of the most popular races out there and it is easy to see why. Most of us are really busy and training time is precious. Therefore, it’s really tough to find it in our schedule to train for a half-marathon or marathon. But in a 5K, you feel like you’re really racing and because the distance is so short, you can run as much as one minute per mile faster than your normal pace. This also makes 5K races an excellent fitness booster- it will improve your form and efficiency, and make your regular training feel easier.
Or, if you don’t work out at all, these events are a great way to start your training. Plus, they are a really fun family activity that will get you off the couch on the weekends while helping out a worthy cause in most cases!
