Event Overview

The New Years Double is a multi-day running event held in Allen, Texas, spanning December 31 and January 1. This event focuses on physical activity at the close of one year and the start of the next. Participants receive race shirts and finisher medals for their participation in the scheduled races.

Race Options

The event provides several distance options on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. The 5K races are scheduled to be completed before the longer distances begin, which allows participants the opportunity to compete in up to two different races on the same day. The available distances for both days include:

  • 5K
  • 13.1 Miles (Half Marathon)
  • 26.2 Miles (Marathon)

Multi-Day Participation

Runners have the option to combine events across both days. Those who complete multiple races over the two-day period receive specific recognition for their accomplishments. For participants who choose to complete both a 5K and a 26.2 Miles marathon on both days, the total distance covered reaches 58.6 miles. A virtual race option is also available for those who cannot attend the physical location in Allen. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
