Summer Meltdown Half Marathon - Dallas
The Summer Meltdown Half Marathon takes place at Sam Houston Trail Park in Irving, Texas. The event offers multiple distances and a virtual option, with chip timing used for the 5K, Quarter Marathon, and Half Marathon. Course surfaces may include pavement, crushed granite, and occasional dirt paths. Aid stations are placed on course to provide water and on-course assistance.
Race amenities listed include participant shirts, finisher medals, live results at the registration tent, a race rally tent with snacks and refreshments after the finish, a DJ at the finish area, and event photography for the Kids Dash. Shirt availability is guaranteed up to 10 days before the event; later availability is subject to update.
Volunteer opportunities cover a range of roles: water station attendant, course monitor, finish line helper, turtle/sweeper, packet pickup/results, floater, lead bike, and mascot. Full race volunteers receive a race shirt, VIP access, and a choice of a free future race entry or a $20 digital gift card. The Volunteer then Run option allows limited volunteers to perform pre-race duties then run the 5K; it includes a chip-timed bib, tee, and finisher medal.
Standard awards for the 5K, Quarter, and Half include 1st overall trophies, masters recognition pins, and age-group pins from 10 and under through 70+.
