As the largest multi-event race in North Texas (thanks to its Kids’ 5K, Adults’ 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, and Ultramarathon), the Cowtown Marathon weekend treats runners to everything Fort Worth has to offer. Organizers know how to run a smooth race and show runners a good time, and they don’t mess around on their swag, with all full/half finishers receiving a long-sleeved and short-sleeved shirt. And as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) program, they use proceeds from every race entry to buy running shoes for low-income children in North Texas.
