Event overview
The New Years Double is a two-day running event held December 31, 2025 to January 1, 2026 in Allen, Texas (701 N Angel Pkwy, Allen, TX 75002). Each day features a 5K, a half marathon, and a marathon. Race shirts and finisher medals are provided for all participants. The 5K is scheduled to take place before the half marathon and marathon each day, so participants may run up to two races per day.
