After its inaugural running a few years back through this northern suburb of Dallas in North Texas, the New Year’s Day Half Marathon expanded to feature a full, 26.2-mile marathon, two-person half marathon relay and a 5K in addition to the individual half marathon, for a race that’s now called the New Years Double Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K.
Runners will follow an out-and-back course that starts in Allen’s Celebration Park and takes runners along the paved walking, running and biking trails that both wind through the park and extend outside the park and into the neighborhoods beyond the park, roughly in parallel with the Angel Parkway.
