Calendar of D-FW Running Events

Because there are several sources for road-race events, the only ones I'll be listing in detail are those events or timing/production companies that choose to advertise on this website. Advertising includes posting the event's logo on the home page and on the calendar page with all the pertinent information. To inquire about advertising fees, please e-mail me at admin@clinesrunningcorner.com. However, I will list other events with a contact number or link to a website. Not all events have been double-checked for date or phone number accuracy.

Play games? The Wii has many family and active games. Buy from Amazon.com, where shipping usually is free.
