Exciting Changes for 2026!

Get ready, Dallas! 2026 is going to be an incredible year as the FIFA World Cup arrives in North Texas! This global sporting event will bring an exciting influx of fans and athletes, and we're thrilled to be part of the energy!

However, with such a massive international event, our city will experience some changes, especially concerning events, venues, and resources. Our Run Project family is dedicated to providing the best, safest, and most memorable races, which means we'll make adjustments when the city does.

Too Hot To Handle is shifting to a new weekend. These changes are directly linked to Dallas's preparations for the World Cup. We believe these necessary adjustments are also exciting! Let's explore the reasons behind these changes and what you can expect in 2026.
