    About This Race

    Runners tackling the Fort Worth Marathon will find themselves on a mostly flat course, allowing for a consistent rhythm throughout the race. With a PR score of 99.29, the terrain encourages a strong performance, but the small field size of roughly 365 finishers means you'll have space to maneuver without the chaos of larger events. Expect a unique Texas vibe, with local support and an opportunity to experience the lesser-known charms of Fort Worth as you run.

    Race Strategy

    To maximize your chances of a Boston qualifier, maintain an even effort throughout the flat portions while being conscious of your hydration. Given the small field, use the space to find your pace without getting caught up in the excitement of faster runners.
