Where Fort Worth runners train, and when to race

The Trinity Trails tie it together. The Tarrant Regional Water District manages more than 100 miles of trail in the Fort Worth area, and several races on this page start beside the Trinity River, at Panther Island Pavilion or in Trinity Park. More places are on our running in Texas guide.

Fall and February are the big seasons. The Fort Worth Marathon and Thanksgiving races fill November, and Cowtown takes over the last weekend of February.

Trail runners have options. Marion Sansom Park and Eagle Mountain Park host rocky, hilly races that feel nothing like the flat river paths.

Respect the heat outside winter. From late spring to early fall, run at sunrise, drink before you are thirsty and run by effort rather than pace. Stop and cool down for heavy sweating, weakness or clammy skin; call 911 for confusion or slurred speech. Our zone 2 guide covers training through it.

November 2026 is the busiest month on the current Fort Worth calendar, with 12 races.
